  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature and environment derived from beetle and other insect fossils. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
 
          STUDY NOTES: Chironomid data from lake cores from British Columbia, Nova Scotia, 
and New Brunswick.   These data are in zipped Tilia 2.0 files with 
accompanying forms. 

The sites are: Cabin Lake, BC, Hippa Lake, BC; Marion Lake, BC; 
Mike Lake, BC; Misty Lake, BC; Tugulnuit Lake, BC, Wood Lake, BC; 
Basswood Road Lake/Splan Pond, NB; and Brier Island Bog, NS.
