     Thanks to help from more than two dozen colleagues, over a third of the
USA mystery localities that I posted on 12 January have been found.
Encouraged by this response, I present here a much shorter list of Canadian
mystery localities.  These are needed for map preparation for the same
staphylinid beetle revision; entomological collection abbreviations are at
right.
     I have already checked various sources including the Canadian
Geographic Names Database, as recently made available on the web ("Canada's
Geographic Names", http://ellesmere.ccm.emr.ca/cgndb/english/HomeEng.html)
and these localities were not found or were ambiguous.  Some are no doubt
misspellings or excessive abbreviations found on specimen labels, or
mis-transcribed from the labels, and others may be obsolete names.
     As before, the desired end product is coordinates (lat./long.) to the
nearest minute, but any information anyone can provide that would let me
locate these sites on a map would be greatly appreciated.
