<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>When working with old data I have sometimes encountered
older baboons with oddball snames that do not fit the current convention of
being the first three letters of the name. I had started making a list of
these so that I didn’t have to look up older individuals all the time to
make sure I had the right sname. I have just uploaded what I believe to
be a complete list to babase_pending titled “unconventional_snames”.
It lists the oddball names that appear in alphabetical order and includes 7
additional names from snames_not_in_biog at the bottom. I thought people
might find it a handy reference when entering older data.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>While reviewing snames_not_in_biog for unconventional snames,
I noticed that Cameroon is listed in this table with sname CAM. There is,
however, in fact, a Cameroon in biograph who appears in the unconventional
names list. She was from Proton’s group and is listed in biograph
as CS1 (pid = CAS1). I am guessing this is the same baboon and her name
did not get fully changed when she was given a real one but perhaps someone can
confirm that? If that is the case then we should probably change her
sname to CAM (there are no other CAMs) in biograph and delete her from snames_not_in_biog
and unconventional_snames, yes?<o:p></o:p></p>
