[Babase] possible interpolation problem

Hello,
After speaking with Jeanne on the phone today I think I have a good
idea of where to start looking for more information about the particular
males listed below.
1. For the males in study groups (1,2, and3) we should be able to find
the first day that these males were seen (most likely the first day of
monitoring for many). I will look in the monitoring binders at the start
of monitoring for those groups and also look at the thesis entitled
"Dominance and Reproduction" for information on the first set of males.
We should be able to fill in some information and then place the males
in group 9 for the time periods that we have no information. This will
still be left censured data but more useful than what is in members
currently. We will also have more day to day information when the old
census records are put in Babase.
2. For the males who are found in group 4, 5, and 6, I will look in the
other group notes and other group censuses to see if I can find any
extra other information. Otherwise it seems sensible to place these
individuals in the particular group on the "dateout" but in group 9 for
the time period before that.
Please let me know if this does not seem like a reasonable way to
proceed in correcting this misleading data.
