Based on sources:
 * Locus Index: This break-up volume has 26 of the original’s 45 stories.
 * Bookgasm review: “The Scarlet Plague” closes this brick of a book. (But at 500 pages, it still represents merely the first half of the original 1997 hardcover edition)

I couldn't find a more reliable contents listing.

Note that this is different from the UK edition (published under the title The Mammoth Book of 20th Century Science Fiction: Volume One, which contains 23 stories, but includes e.g. the 3 last stories from the single-volume edition. Roglo 04:02, 14 Dec 2007 (CST)
