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.
