255 Subfield $c - Statement of coordinates:

Subfield $c contains the statement of coordinates. The coordinates are recorded in the order of westernmost longitude, easternmost longitude, northernmost latitude, and southernmost latitude.

In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield $c data are enclosed in parentheses. The two longitude statements and the two latitude statements are each separated by two hyphens ( -- ). The longitude is separated from the latitude by a slash ( / ).

Examples:

255 ##$aScale 1:7,500,000$c(W 125°--W 65°/N 49°--N 25°).

255 ##$aScale 1:250,000$c(E 32°30'--E 34°30'/N 35°30'--N 35°00').

255 ##$aScale [ca. 1:10,000] ;$bGauss proj.$c(W 9°13'52"--W 9°04'47"/N 38°48'35"--N 38°41'29").
