1. Analyze the number 378.4115 3 Social sciences 37 Education
378 Higher education [base no.]
Europe [Table 2]
British Isles
Okay, let’s analyze our number. We start with the left-most digit.
Social sciences
37 Education
378 Higher education
Now, notice that this is the base number for higher education (volume 2, p. 823). The instructions for tell us to go to Table 2.
So we know the following digits come from Table 2.
4 Europe
British Isles
Scotland
Scottish Highland
So what would be a good title for a book with such a number?
Higher education in the Scottish Highlands.
Scotland
Highland(s)
Title:

Herbaceous tropical and subtropical fruits
Bananas
Notice that Bananas has an asterisk. This sends us to the footnote at the bottom of the page (vol. 3, page. 320):
“Add as instructed under ”
So we head backward in the schedule to Specific plant crops (vol. 3, page 310).
“Add to each subdivision identified by * as follows:
1-6 Cultivation and harvesting Add the numbers following in , e.g. harvesting 5.”
Ah, 5 means harvesting.
Okay, now we see no further instructions. Our 09 must be our standard subdivision for “by locality.”
This in turn allows us to go to Table 2.
7 North America (and more, actually)
Middle America
We have to go to a new slide to continue.
By locality
North America [Table 2]
Middle America

So, we were down as far as Middle America.
