Summary: Latitude and longitude issues in Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi data
Description: The dataset for Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi - Ornithology Collection http://www.gbif.org/dataset/72116eb4-ca86-48a6-a280-232a3eebcb1d has 20,942 occurrences but no map. Looking at the Darwin Core archive many records have decimalLatitude and decimalLongitudes, but as large integers, e.g. -514127778 and 7127778. Dividing these by 10000000 gives values that look sensible (see map of first 1000 records at  https://gist.github.com/rdmpage/2dbb71689a1fa1ccff20 ). It looks like many records are georeferenced, but the export of this data has corrupted the values, converting them from real numbers to integers.
