Yes. They should be captioned, Specially Prepared Interrogatories. Refer to Rutter Group, Cal. Civil Procedure Before Trial, chapter 8.

I would add that you can ask any special interrogatories you want, but that you are limited to 35 in California unless you document the need for more. CCP 2024 et seq. provides the statutory law regarding discovey in civil actions.

The James Publishing works, of which I have a few in my library, but not the one you mention, sometimes are written for a multi-state audience.
