Leah et al,

My take on this is that if there is a header with no point samples 
associated and so we don't know whether it is a juv or female sample 
then we should just delete it. karl says there are 29 of these cases. 
If any of these have ad libs associated with them, check to see 
whether the ad lib says something other than "no point samples taken" 
or something like that. If there are no data and there are only 29 
then we should just cut our losses and delete them.

If you have any questionis about it or other comments let me know.

Susan
