Y. CORNELL UNIVERSITY, DEPARTMENT OP ENTOMOLOGY NOVEMBER, 1 91 5 PREFATORY NOTE. As far as they go the American Library Association's Catalog rules* are well adapted to bibliographical work — are in fact the only authoritative standard for uniform practice in such work in the English language. In- asmuch as they do not touch upon the subject of analytical entries with sufiBcient fullness for the purposes of the bibliographer, it has been deemed advisable to prepare these supplementary rules, as far as possible con- forming with their spirit and with the best usage of bibliographers in general. *American library association and the [British] Library Association.

An analytical entry is the entry of some part of a book, or of some item contained in a collection (volume of essays, serial, etc.) including a re- ference to the publication which contains the article or work entered. Treat as an analytical entry any article in a periodical, serial, or inde- pendent work if it does not possess an individual title-page, or any chapter or portion of a publication dealing with a particular phase of the subject which is to be distinguished for the purpose of the bibliography. The caption serves in lieu of a title, or the title may be in part or completely supplied in brackets. This rule must not be taken as absolute, and would not hold for ordinary library work. For the purposes of a bibliography it will be found a useful general rule. Occasions will arise, however, where articles with distinct title pages can best be treated as analyticals. a) Front periodicals. Give analyticals from periodicals, and from proceedings of learned socie- ties in the following order : Author (as heading) ; title ; title of the periodical including year as given in the title of the volume ; number of the volume preceded by the appro- priate abbreviation, v., bd., etc., as the case may be and followed by a colon ; number of the first and last pages, separated by a dash, aj- 276-391 ; number of first :and last plates, if there are any belonging to the article, as given in the volume, preceded by the abbreviation pi. Omit restatement of the author's name in the title, without marks of omission. The title of the periodical may be abbreviated, but uniformity in abbre- viation is desirable. The system of abbreviation adopted by the Royal Society in its Catalogue of scientific papers and the International catalogue of scientific literature, or the system adopted by the Zoological record and Das Tierreich is perhaps most widely used. But for bibliographies of an agricultural nature the abbreviations employed by the Experiment station record are widely used in this country. If the year of the volume does not appear in the title, use the year as given in the imprint. In the case of monthlies, quarterlies, etc. , give both month and year, if given in the caption of each number, or in the running title. In the case of weeklies, give also the day. If there is more than one " series" of the periodical-, state the series in parentheses before the number of the volume, as (2d ser.) v. 3, or (zool. ) V. 3- The omission of the abbreviation for the volume, etc., is optional. It is often omitted, as for example in Poole's index, but retained in the biblio- graphies published by the Library of Congress. The abbreviation for page or pages is customarily omitted. 4 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRIES If the article is illustrated by text figures, unless there are also plates, the fact may be noted immediately after the title. Follow the punctuation and spacing employed in the examples. It is often advisable to give in a note the actual date of issue, as in the second example below. FULL ENTRIES.

In parentheses give heading and title of the containing works, preceded by the italicized word in, in the following form : (/» Dyar, Harrison G[ray] A list of North American I,epidoptera, etc. ) (In Am Ants, their structure, development and behavior, etc.) Give the im- print if the entire work is not separately entered in the bibliography, in which case its inclusion in an analytical entry seems superfluous. Give the pages on which the article occurs, the first and last separated by a dash and preceded by the abbreviation p. Give the numbers of the plates which be- long to the part entered, preceded by the abbreviation pi. If there are no plates, but there are other illustrations, the fact should be noted after the title, as in the first example below. Finally give the series note, unless the entire work is separately entered in the bibliography, in which case it may be omitted. Include the statements relating to the containing work in parentheses.

In case of an article with a prefixed series of pages use the form : xvi, 12- 38 p. not'^. i-xvi, 12-38. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRIES 5 ABBREVIATBD FORM IFOR SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES. In cases where brevity is a necessary factor in a bibliography, the follow- ing rules are suggested for consistent application throughout : For titles of serials in analytical entries and in series notes employ the abbreviations used in the Zoological record or the International catalogue of scientific literature. Omit restatement of the author's name in the title in all cases, whether analytical or otherwise. In the heading include in brackets portions of the name which do not appear in the title, as : Horn, George H[enry] Omit statement of place and publisher or printer in government and ex- periment station publications, unless there be special reason for giving it. Some authors will prefer to omit statement of the size. TYPOGRAPHY AND ARRANGEMENT. The examples which follow will serve to illustrate advisable arrangement and typography for entries in a printed bibliography. Collation may be printed in a separate paragraph and notes should be. At least if extensive, notes should be set in a smaller type than the title. The following example will illustrate a different form of indenture from the others. Wheeler, William Morton. ...

' Analytical from the transactions of a society treated like a periodical. ' The actual date of publication, if desired, may be added, as here, after the heading to afford a ready means of reference. This should not prevent the date of imprint, which may differ, appearing in its normal place. ' Corporate author. ' Method of distinguishing for purposes of reference two or more publica- tions by the same author published during the same year. ^Anonymous work, the author known. " Mss. thesis. ' Periodicals issued in two or more contemporaneous series. " Note may be inserted as above. In the case of an index to Spilocaea pomi in literature, (as opposed to a bibliography) after the year, in place of the pagination of the volume, insert the page number on which the species is cited, i.e., instead of 158 p. read p. 121. ' Anomyraous, author not known. '° In this example we are really contracting four references (not continu- ations) into one. The word Washington (part of the imprint usually advisable to omit in government publications) is here used to show clearly in each case that the second date is part of the imprint and therefore the publication date, while the first is the year to which the volume pertains and stands in lieu of the volume number of a periodical. " Note that the colon is used to replace the abbreviation p. before a page number only when preceded by a volume number, and may not be thus used after a year, e. g. 18 : 277-281, but not 1910 : 277-281 (meaningvol. 18, pages 277-281 and incorrect for year 1910, pages 277-281 respectively) '* The part is given in this case because the parts are paged separately. " Analytical entry continued through more than one volume.
