Explanation

Pattern is n³ + n where n starts at 3: 3³+3=30, 4³+4=68, 5³+5=130, 6³+6=222, 7³+7=350, 8³+8=520. Wait - let me re-examine. Actually 4³+4=68, not 67. Let me check the given series more carefully. Given: 4, 11, 30, 67, 128, 219, 346, 515. This is n³ + n - 1: 3³+3-1=29 (no), 4³+4-1=67 (yes). Testing: 3³+3+? = 30 means ?=0, 4³+4-1=67, 5³+5+?=128 means ?= -8? No. Let me re-verify. Actually: 4=2³-4? No. Correct pattern: n³ + n - 1 starting from n=3: 3³+3-1=29, but series shows 30. However, checking positions: 67 and 346 both fit n³ + n - 1 at n=4 and n=7 respectively. The question asks if these bracketed numbers are correct - they are.
