I notice that two new genre/form headings are being used by LC:

655  0 Thematic maps.
655  0 Geological maps.

Neither appears on the initial list of such headings.

I would be enormously grateful if someone could point me to a
definitive, up-to-date list of genre/form headings for cartographic
materials. It would also be great to get a ruling as to whether

655  0 Thematic maps.

is to be used for all thematic maps for which another genre/form heading
is inappropriate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
