As seen in the attached excel file, there are a view items which require review

1. Some species have yes AND no in boolean fields. I am not sure this should be so.
2. 12 columns (characteristic fields) where not added to the matrix as there was no definition for the column in the original key that I could find
3. 2 rows (species) have duplicate species in the taxonomy so neither was added as I was unsure to which to add the characters to
4. 25 rows (species) were not added to the matrix as they no longer were in the taxonomy. These rows are at the bottom of the spreadsheet
