This table shows authorized access points for places for which a term for type of jurisdiction is added to differentiate the place from another with the same name.

"11.7.1.5  For a government other than a city or a town, record the type of jurisdiction in the language preferred by the agency creating the data. If there is no equivalent term for the type of jurisdiction in the language preferred by the agency, or in case of doubt, record it in the official language of the jurisdiction."

Established Jurisdiction Type of Jurisdiction Added to Differentiate
Cork (Ireland) Cork (Ireland : County)
Darmstadt (Germany) Darmstadt (Germany : Landkreis)
  Darmstadt (Germany : Regierungsbezirk)
Guadalajara (Spain) Guadalajara (Spain : Province)
Lublin (Poland) Lublin (Poland : Powiat)
  Lublin (Poland : Voivodeship)
Tulcea (Romania) Tulcea (Romania : Județ)

When recorded as a separate element, the type of jurisdiction is put in MARC field 368, subfield ‡b.  Note: the examples in this slide show the type of jurisdiction recorded in field 368 in singular form.  DCM Z1 says to “Prefer controlled vocabulary for terms, recording the source in subfield ‡2.”
