Geographic Numeric Code Chart: (Special Note)
The numeric codes QK108 - QK474 may be used as a standard guide for dividing a LC class into geographic regions (except for QK495), if the LC class code does not specifically divide it up. Items should be filed to smallest available region which encompasses the area in the list. The numbers should be added to the decimal portion of the number code in the call number. If the call number has a decimal number already, it should be added to the end of the decimal number. If the LC code already subdivides the regions in a general way, redundant codes may be omitted and those codes which are appropriate can be appended to the correct division for a finer division. These codes should be used in preference to the country/region cutter codes.

8 - 280 Families, by family #
The books are organized in three sequences within a family:
1) Publications concerning the family in general are classed by author. The first decimal cutter line represents the author (or title or series). (E.g., QZ 19 .Author; QZ 19 .G735 1987, Grass Systematics and Evolution ("G" on the cutter line comes from the title since this is an edited volume))
2) Publications concerning the family as a whole in a geographic area are classed with the three digit decimal geographic code added to the family number in the range. The decimal numbers range from #.108 to #.474. The next line takes the first letter of the author (or title or serial) and one cutter number (unless more are needed). (E.g., QZ 19.154 .Author; QZ 19.154 .H3 1978, The Grasses of Florida by D. W. Hall)
3) Publications concerning only a particular genus in a family use the family number plus decimal .5 added (#.5). The first decimal cutter line consists of the first four letters of the genus; the second cutter line represents the author. (E.g., QZ 19.5 .LEER .P97 1967, Taxonomic and Distributional Studies in Leersia (Gramineae) by Grant Lloyd Pyrah.
