RARA-AVIS: Towards a full Hammett bibliography 

>From Eddie Duggan's listing of Continental Op stories, a book I have
and some web sites I found, I have started to put together a Dashiell
Hammett bibliography.  I've got all the novels down as well as most
later collections (although some are probably missing), but the short
stories I don't have at hand.  I'm wondering if some of the Hamett
experts here could help.

In the collections, there are many short stories listed that don't
have the Op (there are the few Spade ones, then many others).  Does
anyone have a listing of them, or some details they could give me?
I've put up what I have at

    http://www.vex.net/~buff/rara-avis/biblio/hammett.html

and I'll include the shorts stories I know about below.  If anyone can
help out, with additions or corrections, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, when did _The Black Mask_ become _Black Mask_?  Was it when Shaw
took over?
