Metadata Issues • Lot 50 was mislabelled as Lot 66. • Lot 66 was unlabelled. • Georgetown Royalty was mislabelled as Lot 73 • Princetown Royalty was missing.

I'm writing to report what I believe to be incorrect metadata for one of the GIS Catalog items that you are listed as contact for, the "Lot / Townships" layer: http://www.gov.pe.ca/gis/index.php3?number=1011342&lang=E There are two polygons that appear to have incorrect metadata; I have attached a screen shot labelling these, which are in eastern PEI in the Orwell Point area. One polygon currently has a LOT value of NULL, and I believe it should, instead, have a value of 66. The other polygon, currently labelled 66, should, I believe, be labelled 50. As a reference, I am using the Samuel Holland map, a version of which has been digitized at: http://www.islandimagined.ca/fedora/repository/imagined:209165 I am attaching a screen shot of that map showing the lot labels. As next year is the 250th anniversary of the Samuel Holland Map, I would expect this layer to attract more attention than it otherwise would, so it would be nice to have the issue rectified.

Correcting the Metadata • Relabelled Lot 50. • Added a label to Lot 66. • Changed Lot 73 to Georgetown Royalty. • Princetown Royalty was missing.
