[seqfan] Re: M- and N-numbers

[Neil Sloane]

Looking into this further, I see that N2372 should not really have been
duplicated,
and I deleted one of the two occurrences.

I will also take care of the missing N2353.

Charles, can you send me the full list of duplicates and omissions that you
found,
and I will try to clean them up?

Thanks!

Neil
