"Series" refers to the overall group of records in the bibliography, and Volume to refer to the specific volume for the footnote and short footnote, using the :Abbrev field code to allow separate entries.
In the first example on p. 457, the Series would be entered (without the quotes) as "Record of Mortality, 1892-1903".
The volume would be entered (without the quotes) as either "Record of Mortality, Book A" to use the same data in both FN and SFN, or "Record of Mortality, Book A||Record of Mortality, A" to take advantage of the :Abbrev field code.
