Mike - I thought Georgia interrupted South Carolina's
march to Pacific, so thought it was an exclave. But,
as I have mentioned, I did not get to look at the book
for a long time. However, I am pretty sure Eastern
New York did block Massachusetts' claim and thus there
should be a detached territory there. Can you check
it out?

David - By my strict definition of exclave, which
means an integral territory. Baikanour Cosmodrome, a
leased territory, would not be an exclave. A leased
territory could not be integral. I would say, though,
anytime a lease does not mention that the host
territory retains ownership, shouldn't we assume that
ownership is transfered too? If that's not so, we
would have been saying Hong Kong stopped at Boundary
Street, which almost nobody thinks. Everything in
life is temporary, and a leased territory should not
be penalized for bring temporary. I do not know if
the ownership of the land was transferred or not in
the case of Porkkala, so I can't really say anything
about it.

Mats - I am not sure which catalog number you needed,
so I will just give you the address
http://catnyp.nypl.org/search/w for the catalog of New
York Public Library, where I found my books to
photocopy from. Put the words you need in the blank
space. You should find some catalog numbers. I am
not sure if it is the right number or not. I put the
area and population of Berlin exclaves
http://members.aol.com/marismits/Berlin.htm along with
the approximate locations. I have photocopies from
various books and maps that fill a whole box, so I
advise you to give me an area whose maps you want
before I can send a mail. I do not have great maps of
Berlin, but I can send you the maps I do have.

Arif
