Some years ago Wolfe wrote three stories (novellas?) called "Island of
Doctor Death", "Doctor of Death Island", and "Death of Doctor Island".  I'm
trying to track them down.  Does anyone know where they have been
anthologised?  I know that "Death of Doctor Island" was released as part of
the Tor Doubles series (and I have it) but I haven't been able to find the
other two.  Thanks.

Surely "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories" is part of _The
Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories_

(And yes, I'm fairly certain they're the right titles.)

Don't know about the others though, I haven't got that collection.  I don't
remember them from Endangered Species, but I've only read the first half.

That's "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories", "The Doctor of Death
Island" and "The Death of Dr. Island".

All three are in _The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other
Stories_ (sic).  Copyright date is 1980.  My edition is the UK one, so the
publishing details wouldn't be much use to you.

Whoops!  I left it out because I didn't know about it!  Now that means I
have one more story to find.  Oh well, I'm sure that it will be worth the
effort.

That would be _The Wolfe Archipelago_.
