I received 9 responses containing another 77 combinations, bringing the list of known combinations to 584--that's roughly a 40% increase to what was originally reported in the World Index".

I can't find my copy of the March 2001 VCBC right now to see what further elaboration might be there. Does your checklist show 584 (or more) different?

Thanks again for the work--it's always nice to have a working spreadsheet when dealing with a set this massive.
Thats some good information there. The count in my sheet comes to just 513 so it would seem there are some holes to fill. Perhaps the March issue of VCBC will provide some more information, you dont think it contained an updated list...or you're just not sure?

Keep me posted if you find it, Im off to find a copy of that issue on Ebay perhaps.
