Carrier Type includes Media Type as a constituent attribute, which means
Carrier Type volume includes unmediated and would therefore exclude
stereographic for the intermediation attribute. One can't combine volume
and stereographic, and stereographic by itself would at least point to
Carrier Type other.
The stereographic carriers include stereograph card, stereograph disc, and
other.

Carrier Type other would have to be used with media type stereographic for
carriers that are different from the two defined ones:
Stereograph card - mapped to 007 (non-projected graphic) /01 = h for
photoprint ... (opaque stereographs are included here)
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd007k.html
Stereograph disc - mapped to 007 (projected graphic) /01 = s for slide ...
Includes modern stereographs, e.g. Viewmaster reels
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd007g.html
For recording extent, RDA 3.4.4.3 instructions for multiple images in a single
carrier might be appropriate - basically resulting in something in the form of
25 stereograph images in 1 volume, along with using Carrier type = other
and Media type = stereographic.

Apparently, stereographic images can also appear on slides, printed sheets, and
iPhones, so, I would say that the carrier list might need updating for this
media, but until that happens, it seems to me that the only option, to mirror
the media, would be to use 'other' as the carrier type.
But I'm assuming that you also have text in this resource, so perhaps the logic
might be that as long as you record *a* carrier type you are covered.
So, I would say to myself what I have here are still images (Content) that can
be accessed using a stereographic viewer (Media) or can be viewed unmediated
(Media)-although not the way they were intended, although you can apparently
force your eyes to see stereographically without a viewer-in a volume
(Carrier), so:
Content Type (336$a): still image
Content Type (336$a): text
Media Type (337$a): stereographic
Media Type (337$a): unmediated
Carrier Type (338$a): volume
Extent (300$a): [n] pages
Nature of the Content(500$a): Stereographic images with commentary text
So, let me ask Greta's question again: is it ok to list a Media Type, without
also listing its specifically corresponding Carrier Type, as long as you *do*
list a carrier type for other contents?
