In Classification Web, LCC number range for AS541-552 carries the 
following caption:

    $a AS541 $c AS552 $h Academies and learned societies
    $h By region or country $h Asia $h Southeast Asia
    $j Japan

Since, in this record, Japan is subsumed under Southeast Asia, it was just 
pointed out to me that those unfamiliar with this particular LCC number 
range might not be able to readily reach AS541-552.  In Classification 
Web, in the subsequent LCC number ranges, Korea, Pakistan, and Iran are 
also subsumed under Southeast Asia.

    $a AS559 $h Academies and learned societies
    $h By region or country $h Asia $h Southeast Asia
    $j Korea

    $a AS569 $h Academies and learned societies
    $h By region or country $h Asia $h Southeast Asia
    $j Pakistan

    $a AS571 $h Academies and learned societies
    $h By region or country $h Asia $h Southeast Asia
    $j Iran

while LCCN sh 85008627 for Southeast Asia notes:

    ... mainland and insular regions of Asia lying south of China
    and east of India, including Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia,
    Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, East Timor,
    and the Philippines.
