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.
