A000105(n) + A030228(n) = a(n) because the number of free polyominoes plus the number of polyominoes lacking bilateral symmetry equals the number of one-sided polyominoes. - Graeme McRae" (g_m(AT)mcraefamily.com), Jan 05 2006

Names for first few polyominoes: "monomino", "domino", "tromino", "tetromino", "pentomino", "hexomino", "heptomino", "octomino", "enneomino", "decomino", "hendecomino", "dodecomino", ...
