Indiana (S2), Iowa (S3), Kentucky (S3), Maryland (SX), Massachusetts (SH),
Michigan (S4), Minnesota (SNR), Missouri (S1?), Montana (S2), Nebraska (S1),

Alberta (S5), British Columbia (S5), Manitoba (S5), Northwest Territories
(SNR), Nunavut (SNR), Ontario (S5), Quebec (S4), Saskatchewan (S5)
S5 = common in state
