	INTRODUCTION TO FIELD TRIPS
		The Coastline of Guyana extends about 434 km (270 miles) from Punta Playa to the mouth of Corentyne River.
		Its length running southward from Punta Playa to the southern Acarai mountains is about 805 Km (500 miles) and its measure across in a straight line from the Wenamu river to the mouth of the Corentyne river is about 483 km (300 miles).
		The coast is flat and curved and chiefly because of its alluvial character, it is much broken by the mouths of numerous rivers and creeks that discharge into the ocean.

	tinc description
		While this species can be found at sea level, these individuals have been collected at the base of nearby hills or mountains.
		The isolation of populations has presumably occured as a result of the erosion of these highland areas and the seasonal inundation of the inter-patch areas.
		Sampling from tinctorius' limited range in Guyana is from a single collection in the Acarai Mts.
