Why would one do such a note in the first place? Would it not assist patrons more to have the numbering in the main series follow the name of the series in 490/830 (series title bracketed or not)? Would they not need to be in conjuntion to allow searching and collocation? What purpose would the number in a note (with or without other verbage) serve? There are plenty of other clues to match description to item. __ __ J.
