I count 1342. Where are these other 15?\
Probably in my quasi-senile memory.
You are correct that the current list is 1342. At one point before the current baseline it was 1357. But alas, I have scrubbed my computer of obsolete lists to the point where finding the old lists is a non-trivial effort. Since the last change before the baseline added 20 words (look for JL15 on the website to see the list), I'm not entirely sure how the number got to its current state. I don't think we deleted that many. I'd probably have to dig through the paper archives to find some of the prior lists.
In any event 1357 is the number stuck in my mind from the earliest days, and I notice that I've (erroneously) used it a couple other times since the list was baselined.

is one reference showing the old list size.
Wow, I haven't seen a bangpath in forever. :)
I note in passing regarding recent historical discussion that JL16 has a discussion of the kinds of changes made in the place structures in the last review before the final baseline.
