Travel around South Africa with John Acocks - SAFARIS

South African vegetation through the eyes of one man over a period of 40 years. John Phillip Harison Acocks (7 April 1911 Cape Town - 20 May 1979 Middelburg, Eastern Cape) used his observations to create the map of the Veld Types of South Africa that underpinned South African vegetation and botanical work for over 50 years (1953 to 2005). Acocks recorded his travels and sampling of more than 20 000 specimens, sampling at over 3 600 sites, recording over 390 000 species-locality observations. Many of his records are in amazingly neat writing. This forms an incredibly valuable source of information for biodiversity studies.

Request the spreadsheet template designed for these field notes that simplifies data capture. It can be used, and the formatted data in it can then be copied and pasted into the transcription window. It is important if using this approach to first click the Save unfinished record button. You can be taken out of a task if you haven't refreshed it for more than 2 hours, and it could be terribly frustrating when you wish to continue, to find that your work has been taken over by someone else. A topographical map from 1936 with Acocks' sites marked by him, points showing where he was known to have been by date, and gazetteer can be downloaded (about 3 GB).
Please do not expand abbreviations or indicate crossed-out text. Record what is written (or what it appears that Acocks intended as his edited end result). The total number of tasks for this dataset is: 95, number transcribed is 0 and number validated is 0.

四十载光阴中，一位学者视角下的南非植被。约翰·菲利普·哈里森·阿科克斯（John Phillip Harison Acocks，1911年4月7日生于开普敦，1979年5月20日卒于东开普省米德尔堡）以自身观测成果绘制了《南非稀树草原植被类型图》（Veld Types of South Africa），该成果为南非植被与植物学研究奠定了长达50余年（1953年至2005年）的核心基础。阿科克斯记录了自身的游历与超20000份标本的采样工作，在超过3600个采样点开展调查，累计记录超390000条物种-地点观测数据。其大量记录字迹工整清晰，堪称生物多样性研究领域极具价值的信息源。
请加入由南非国家生物多样性研究所发起的SAFARIS——南非标本之友与研究者索引计划（Southern African Friends and Researchers Indexing Specimens）。
请使用专为该野外记录设计的电子表格模板以简化数据录入流程，模板内的格式化数据可直接复制粘贴至转录窗口。采用此录入方式时，请务必先点击“保存未完成记录”按钮。若超过2小时未刷新任务，您可能会被移出当前任务，当后续希望继续时，发现工作已被他人接管，将带来极大困扰。
可下载一份标注有阿科克斯采样点的1936年地形图，该图标注了他各日期的活动地点，配套的地名索引文件大小约为3GB。
请勿拓展缩写或标注划除文本，请如实记录原文内容（或阿科克斯经编辑后的最终定稿内容）。本数据集的总任务数为95，已转录任务数为0，已验证任务数为0。
