Exceptions in the numbering system occur because of deleted properties resulting from boundary refinements and added properties resulting from changes in the “counting” and listing requirements. Instead of revising all numbers late in the inventory process, only the affected properties received number changes, meaning that these properties are not located where they normally would be in the numbering sequence. Affected properties are #86, 144, 150, 151, 162, 209, 235, 296, 378, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 438, 451, and 593-610.
