That information is in the Reports chapter of the manual (Reports.html in 
the Documentation/docs folder). The report numbers are in anchor tags as 
the value of the name field, and the report name follows in bold. For 
example:

<a name="2C"></a><p><font face="Palatino,Times"><b>Interesting Referring 
Domains</b> - . . .

The report numbers don't change over time so that is the right thing to 
key off of. Keep in mind that we do tend to add new reports fairly 
regularly.

Couldn't you simply search for the line that starts "Displaying items" 
and key off of that?

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
