Or am I missing something here?

There's a  1998 CIA map titled "The Mediterranean Basin."  Sudoc being
pretty much useless I  am  going to pop a  number out of the G
schedule.  Except... nothing on the G sked maps, nothing in the index
for the Med that relates to maps.  No entry in OCLC, but there is a 19th
century  French map with a geo number of 5672.  Eastern Hemisphere?  I
don't think so.


After fooling with the G schedule a bit, I can't find an entry.  Oceans
go from South Atlantic (9165) to Indian (9180) skipping over the Med,
which is arguably one of the most important bodies of water in western
history, and has been for a long, long time.  What the...? Am I missing
something? To loosely quote John McEnroe "They cannot possibly be serious!"

Help, oh help...
