In the example you give, everything after the final comma is treated as a comment. I sometimes add comments to clarify unusual or significant entries. In this case, the source for dates (Frank Andrews & Ernie Bayly) says that HMV B-309 to B-491 were added to the catalogue in September 1915 (which was probably the date of issue of the annual catalogue). They seem to represent re-issues of earlier single sided discs in double sided format. In contrast, the previous entry in the database for B-298 to B-307 in September is for recent recordings, and probably represents the September 1915 monthly supplement contents.It also has a comment that B-308 wasn't issued.
