According to the online Latin-English dictionary I consulted, the translations are as follows:

Loci=Places
Locali=Locations

Now, I don't speak Latin (who does?), and have only studied it informally. Also, I don't know if there is an established convention for lists of place names in literature; but it seems to me that either of these would be valid. 

But I could be wrong. It's happened once or twice.
