Notes
General Note: Created from KWK's SW Taxa 2010-08-12a.txt. This has the same values as the previous tDAR version, updated so that the common names will now be read as synonyms rather than as part of the label and so the input order is preserved.
General Note: old title: Fauna Taxon - Southwest US (updated) - Default Fauna Ontology Updated and reordered 7/10/12
