How the map was made
The original program computed each red dot at display time from the locality's coordinates, using its map library and one of five base maps drawn for the screen widths of the day. That library's projection — an oblique rotation of the sphere about the map's own centre, 23.7°S 47.4°W — was read from the program and checked against the graticule the same program drew into the base maps: it reproduces every grid intersection to within about a pixel. The dots here use that projection on the 1280-pixel base map, with the coordinates the discs record. Nothing was placed by hand, no modern map data was used, and a place whose coordinate is incomplete, out of range or beyond the map's edge is listed rather than guessed.
The discs carried location maps only; none shows a distribution or range.
The account, continued
Voice
The common call or song is a repeated 'di-tui'. Calls a high descending 'zieh zieh'; a high rattle 'zkzkzkzkzkzkzk' and a downward 'ziu ziu'.
Behavior
Forages within 10 feet from the ground in scrub and forest borders. Not usually in mixed flocks.
Habitat and status
Common in dense humid scrub and understory of primary and secondary forest. Prefers forest borders and bamboo thickets.
Distribution
Throughout. Common at the coast. Sea level to 1200 meters at Itatiaia.
Taxonomy notes
The common southeast Brazilian lowland Drymophila, closely related to Drymophila rubricollis which occurs at higher elevations and reaches more southerly latitudes.
Decoded from the disc's own bytes. Each part is shown under the heading the disc files it under, and the wording, spelling and punctuation are the author's.

Across the three discs
The work was published on three discs — Disc 2 in 2001, Disc 3 in 2006 and Disc 1 in 2011. Where they differ, that is a difference between historical releases, and it is never merged away. The 2011 disc is not treated as correcting the earlier ones.
