1.       No disagreement, except that some 151 appears in the name file and some appear in the subject file:
n82068148           008/11=a             008/14=a             151 _ _ $a England 
sh2010015057    008/11=a             008/14=b             151 _ _ $a Tabasco Mountains (Mexico)



2.       Yes, see n50000359
151 _ _ $a Sonora (Mexico : State)
751 _ _ $z Mexico $z Sonora (State)



3.       Oops, my apologies to my VIAF colleagues, I believe that geographic names are in the works… or at least I was under the impression they were from a discussion I had last night.

Andrew, please see [YZ] below

 

181 __ $z England  and you would NOT find this heading in LCSH. This is issue one. Unfortunately, LC does not create 181 in LCSH (actually I think there are some, but not if it’s a name), instead they create a 781 in the name authority record. 

[YZ]  MARC/LCSH distinguishes between names 100 and geographic names 151 in their authority record. You'll find all geographic names if you look for 151 records.

 

So to find the corresponding $z England we need to go to the name authority record 150 England with LCCN n82068148. 

[YZ]  LCCN n82068148 authority record is  for 151 England.

Also Andrew, are you indicating there is a difference between the form of geographic name in 151$a and 781$z   -- ?

 

Currently under id.loc.gov you will not find name authority records, but you can find them at viaf.org. 

[YZ]  viaf.org does not include geographic names. I just checked there England. makes little sense to mix personal/corporate names with geographic ones. Let's see what Ralph comments.
