Does MySQL keep a transaction log and if so where could I find it?
A number of rows have mysteriously been deleted from a table and I want to try and see how and when it occurred.

If you turned on – mysql can track binary log, which contains all the modifications (to be clear – it contains the queries that had changed something).
But anyway, it is useless if you do not have the initial dump, which precedes the binlog turning on. Also i suppose if you made the dump and turned on binlog – you would not ask such question :-S
