> Many place names outside the United States can be found on Geonet
> <http://gnpswww.nima.mil/geonames/GNS/>
>
> A search there reveals:
> Laminusa Island, Philippines: 05° 33'N,  120° 55'E
>
> Cape Engano, Luzon: 18° 35' N, 122° 08' E
> Punta Engano is not listed in Geonet, but it is in Cebu Province, so it is not
> the same place.
>
> There is no listing for "Tonle" in the Marshall Island on Geonet. Not is it
> listed in "Pacific Island Names", Bishop Museum Miscellaneous Publication 34
> (1986).
>
> The only entires for "Tonle" in the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names
> <http://shiva.pub.getty.edu/tgn_browser/> are in Kampuchea.
