Have you ever wondered which country has the most populated places with
the same name?  (It is Iran with 468 places named Hoseynabad.)  Or which
Latin American countries have the most places named San Jose?

Answers to these and many similarly intriguing questions can be found in
the most recent article in /Coordinates:  The Online Journal of the Map
and Geography Round Table of the American Library Association/.
Look for:  Douglas R. Caldwell and James A. Shine, "An Analysis of
Toponymic Homonyms in Gazetteers: Country-Level Duplicate Names in the
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Geographic Names Data Base" at
http://www.sunysb.edu/libmap/coordinates/SeriesA.htm.
