Jesper -
The maps of India site does not show the enclaves, but
as an approximate area, go to the district map of West
Bengal, find Cooch Behar. It is near the western
portion of the district. You will need to most likely
find a paper map of the area to truly see the
enclaves. Even then, many small ones will not show
up. The best place to find census handbooks if you
have any.

Mike -
I don't really consider any of the territories (you
forgot Mayotte and Wallis & Futuna, i believe) of
French to be integral parts, so not enclaves. Then
again, I have not really done a history of them. The
overseas departments have a little too much autonomy
in my mind, if you ask me. And even if they were
integral parts, I wouldn't call any except St Pierre
as enclaves, as I find it just easier to just define
the different type of oddities to explain to others
without much verbosity. It just gets confusing if we
start calling fragments and tongues as enclaves. Just
because I don't call them exclaves does not mean they
are not interesting.
