The paper describes a recommendation of a coordinate system to be used in all biological disciplines to report observations, agreed on by the natural history museums and the scientific societies in Finland. In the recommended coordinate system, the p-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system joins the E 27° longitude. The recommendation describes in detail how the observations are reported using this system.
