Subject: Question about 300 field for atlases

Hello All:

I have a question about physical descriptions for atlases.

I have an atlas with 23 double plates, of which two have an additional folded section which makes it a triple folded map, with a sheet pasted on to the
left side of the double sheet. All are mounted on tabs except for these triple maps.

Do you count these additonal leaves as pages so that they would make 48 p. + 2 p.
OR
21 double maps + 2 triple maps.

Right now my 300 field reads:

1 Atlas ([3], 79, p., [23] double leaves of plates (4 folded)) : ǂb ill., maps ; ǂc 54 cm. (fol.)

Should this be altered any way?

Thanks for your help,
~Allison Rich
