                              GENERA!  RULES.

    Follow copy closely in the body of the card.
    Follow strictly the orthographical usages of  each  language.  This disposes of the  question of
capitalization.
    Particular care must be taken to preserve the archaic forms in titles of old books in all languages.
    In titles of books dated prior to 1500, follow copy literally.
    Abbreviated forms of Latin names of cities.

  Names of towns which are unusually long and
of frequent occurrence may be abbreviated thus:
Francof. ad Viadr.,
Francof. cis Viadr.,
Halts Sax.,
Lugd. Bat.,
Traj. ad Rhenum,
Traj. ad- Viadr.

             Alphabetic arrangement.

  All matter is arranged in alphabetic order.
  Where entries are made  by first  word of title,
articles, prepositions,  and conjunctions are  not
taken into account in the alphabetic arrangement.
  Authors and subjects of the same name will be
arranged with the subject first.
  Hyphenated  words  are  to be treated  as  one
word, but not  compounded  names without the
hyphen.

     Author (Brerier Title) entries—examples.

  The following are examples of Author (Brevier
Title) entries:

             Author and suhauthors.

  Where there is  a subauthor or suhauthors, the
style  will be as follows:
Argentine  Kepublic.   Minislerio de guerra
  y marina.  Xtrc'h to de sanidad.  Reglamento del
  cuerpo  de sanidad  del  ejdrcito.  50 pp.   8°.
  Buenos Aires, 1890.
-----.   Manual del enfermero militar.  Compi-
  lado [etc.] por Tadeo Sztyrle, cirujano di regi-
  mento.   6S pp.   16°.  Buenos Aires, J. Peuser,
  1893.
  In the foregoing example  it will be observed
that the single dash stands for the author ("Argen-
tine Republic") and two suhauthors  ("Ministerio
de guerra y marina" and •' Servicio de sanidad").

             Biographical references.

  All references relating to the biography of an
author  should be run in in one paragraph, books
first, then  the journals preceded by "See, also."
The following are examples:
    For Biography, see Billing^ (J. S.)  Memoir of Joseph
  Janvier  Woodward.  8°.   Washington, I). 0., 1885.—
  United Stale*.  TT'ar Department. Surgeon-General'»
  Of.ce.   [Obituary.]  8°.  [ Washington, 1884. |  See. also :

  n. a.,  xxiv. 997-999.  Also : Nat. Acad. Sc.  Bio»\ Mem.,
  Wash., 1886, ii, 295-307 (J. S. Billings).

                  Capitalization.

  The use  of capitals  for common nouns  in Dan-
ish is no longer universal.   Follow copy.
  All nouns in German are capitalized, as,  also,
adjectives derived  from names of  persons  and
cities, but adjectives derived from names of coun-
tries are printed with small initials.
  In  French,  all adjectives derived from proper
names  are  printed  with small initials; this ap-
plies  also to Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. 
3
  Names of the months and the days of the week
are printed with small initials in  French, Span-
ish, Italian, and Russian.

            Chronological arrangement.

  References to journals of which a man was ed-
itor will be arranged chronologically, and the
dates covered will be given.   Examples:
    Also, Editor of: Ohio (The) Medical and Surgical lie-
  porter, Cleveland, 1867-72.—Cincinnati (The) Medical
  Advance, 1873-80.

       Collections of dissertations and theses.

  Size,  place, date, volume, and pages will always
be given in abbreviations of collections of disser-
tations and theses.  The following are examples :
    In : Eyerel.  Diss. mod. [etc.l.  8°.   Viennce, 1788,
  i, 2-16.
    In: Haller.  Disp.ad morb. [etc.]. 4°.  Lausannos,
  1758, ii, 17.
    In : LlNN^.US.  Amoenitates acad. [etc.].  8°.  Lugd.
  Bat., 1749, i, 63-84.
    In: Louvain Diss.  8°.  Lovanii, 1756, ii, 61-109.
    In: Sandifort.  Thesaurus diss. |etc.].  4°.  Rotter-
  dami, 1768, i, 60-108.
    In: Weiz (F. A.)  Neue Auaz. [etc.].  12°.   Leipz.,
  1776, iv, 27-37.

                Continued articles.

  In continued journal articles, the different years
are separated by colons, and pages by semicolons.
Where  the volume  is given without the  year, a
colon is also used.  The following example  will
explain this  clearly:
    Fcltz (V.) & Killer (E.) De ruremiee\-p6rimentale.
  Rev. mod. de lest,  Nancy, 1880,  xii, 231; 528: 1881, xiii,
  14; 40: xiv, 56; 75: XV, 95; 150.

           Cross references {for subjects).

  Cross references are arranged as follows:
Aneurisms of femoral  artery.
    See, also, Aneurisms of groin;  Artery (Femo-
  ral),  Artery (Iliac, Common), Artery (Iliac, Ex-
  ternal), Ligature of.
  In the foregoing example it will  be noticed that
a  comma is  used  after each of  the  references
•'Artery (Femoral)",  "Artery (Iliac, Common)",
and "Artery (Iliac, External)".  This  is done in
order to  avoid the repetition of " Ligature of"
after each of these.
Anatomy (Essays, memoirs, and observa-
  tions on).
    See, also,  Abdomen; Embryology; Histol-
  ogy; and under names of parts of body.

Anatomy.
    See, also,** * *;  and under names of organs and
  regions,  as  Back;  Brain;  Liver;  Mediasti-
  num; Muscles.
  Roman semicolons are used to  separate cross
references.

           Congressional Library deposit.

  The letter c. (flush to the right  at end of card)
indicates Congressional Library deposit, and will
be omitted except in Author (Brevier Title) cards.

                     Dashes.

  Instead of repeating the name  of an author a
dash  is used, with a period immediately follow-
ing it.
  In Brevier cards  the dash  and  period  are fol-
lowed by an em quad, while in Nonpareil they are
preceded and followed by an en only.
  In Author and  Subject cards,  several  dashes
may occur together;  in such cases the comma  is
used in the same manner as if names were given
in full, except before the " A. ", where no comma
is used.  The following are cases in point:
Andral (G[ahriel]) [1797-1876].  *An [etc.].
-----.  The same.  A treatise [etc.].
-----&. Gavarret (Jules).  Recherches [etc.].
-----, —---& Delafond [H.-M.-O.]   [Etc.].
  Where two or more dashes are used alone the
"«Xr " is omitted.
  An em dash is used to separate journal entries.
This dash should never begin a line.
               Division of words.

  In dividing English words, follow Worcester's
Dictionary.
  For the division of words in foreign languages
no invariable rule can be prescribed, but it is safe
generally to divide after a vowel.
  In  Hungarian  where  compound  letters  are
doubled  and one dropped, the letter dropped is
replaced on division, thus:  ccs, cs-cs; ccz, cz-cz;
ggy,gy-gy; %, ly-ly; nny, ny-ny; ssz, sz-sz.
  Many of  the words in the following lists are of
frequent occurrence,  and are given for conven-
ience :

                 Dutch and Flemish.

  In  setting Dutch or Flemish cards, omit trans-
lations.
  With regard to the letters aa and ae, and ij and
y, follow copy.   According to the modern Dutch
orthography, aa is generally substituted for ae, and
ij for y.  In Flemish both of these old forms are
still retained.
  "v." before a Dutch  or Flemish proper name
is to be changed to ''van".
                Finnish and Swedish.

   In Finnish  and Swedish,  ii  and o are never
printed a and 6.

                       German.

   In modern German, ae becomes ii, and oe becomes
ii, except at the  beginning of nouns, and in  the
names of persons  and publications, and in titles of
old books, where copy is to be followed.   In pure
Latin words occurring in German entries, a> and w
are preferred.
   Only the first noun in Latin phrases in German
entries is capitalized.
   "v." before a proper name is to be changed to
"von".
   The contraction " No." is always capitalized in
German.
   All nouns are capitalized in German.


                    Given names.

   Forenames,  and initials for such  names,  are
always  enclosed  in parentheses;  a  period is not
used after  the parenthesis unless  the name be
spelled in full.
   In Subject (Brevier small  cap. and Nonpareil
journal)  entries  only the initial  or  initials of an
author's  Christian name are  printed, unless  the
author be a woman, in which case such  mime or
names are given in full.
   French given names are connected by hyphens.
Thus:  Audohakd  ( Mathieu-Franvois-Maxime).

                 Dutch and Flemish.

  In  setting Dutch or Flemish cards, omit trans-
lations.
  With regard to the letters aa and ae, and ij and
y, follow copy.   According to the modern Dutch
orthography, aa is generally substituted for ae, and
ij for y.  In Flemish both of these old forms are
still retained.
  "v." before a Dutch  or Flemish proper name
is to be changed to "van".
                Finnish and Swedish.

   In Finnish  and Swedish,  ii  and o are never
printed a and o.

                       German.

   In modern German, ae becomes ii, and oe becomes
ii, except at the  beginning of nouns, and in  the
names of persons  and publications, and in titles of
old books, where copy is to be followed.   In pure
Latin words occurring in German entries, a> and w
are preferred.
   Only the first noun in Latin phrases in German
entries is capitalized.
   "v." before a proper name is to be changed to
"von".
   The contraction " No." is always capitalized in
German.
   All nouns are capitalized in German.


                    Given names.

   Forenames,  and initials for such  names,  are
always  enclosed  in parentheses;  a  period is not
used after  the parenthesis unless  the name be
spelled in full.
   In Subject (Brevier small  cap. and Nonpareil
journal)  entries  only the initial  or  initials of an
author's  Christian name are  printed, unless  the
author be a woman, in which case such  mime or

                     Greek.

  Translations are omitted in Greek titles.
  The first word of the title of (Jreek articles, and
of Greek journals, etc., whenthev appear in their
proper alphabetical place  in the Catalogue, will
be transliterated, and when  reference  is made
from the editor to the Greek journal, etc., the first
word of the title of the latter in the reference will
also be transliterated.
  The following Greek titles of  medical period-
icals are given for convenience:

                   Hungarian.

  In Hungarian, o and ii,  and 6 and u, are distinct.

                    Imprints.

  With regard to the use of the conjunction, «)'-,
(;, en, et, i, u., y, etc., follow copy.
  The abbreviations  Ca.,  Cia., Cie.,  Co., Comp.,
Ko., Komp., Soc, etc., should be set as in copy.
  The imprint of "Longman, Brown,  Longman",
etc., becomes "Longman  [and others]".
  " [P., v. —.] " and " [Also, in :  P., v. —.] " may
follow the imprint in Brevier.

                    Indentions.

  Subject headings (Long Primer Title  and ital-
ics): Flush; overruns  indented an en quad and
3-em space.
  Author  (Brevier  Title) entries: Flush; over-
runs, 1 em.
  Subject (Brevier  small cap.) entries:  Indent 2
ems; overruns, 1 em.
  Journal (Nonpareil) entries:  Indent 2£  ems;
overruns, 1^ ems.
  Locality headings (Old Style  Antique caps.):
Indent 3 ems;  overruns,  4 ems.  Where  States or
cities are added to  locality headings, set in An-
tique Old Style, lower  case,  center;  and where
institutions are given with these,  indeut 4  ems,
overruns 5 ems.
  The following  are examples of indentions for
locality headings:
Universities  [in  alphabetical order,  by
  names of countries and places].
      GERMANY.
                    Landshut.
    See, also, in this list,  Munich.

      NORWAY.
    See, in this list, Sweden and Norway.
      UNITED STATES.
                    . Illinois.
        Lake Forest University (formerly  University
          of Chicago).
  Brevier cross references: Indent 2  ems; over-
runs, 1 em.
  Nonpareil cross references and notes:  Indent 1%
ems; overruns, 1+ ems.

                     Italian.

  A space is always inserted after an  apostrophe
in 11 alian; as, 1' animo, de' libri, etc.
         Joint author—repetition of name.

  In journal (Nonpareil) entries, where an author
stands alone and immediately follows as a joint
author, the name will be given in full.  Thus:
    Smith (J.)  Medical education [etc.].  Boston M. &
  S. J., 1881, v, 231.-Smith (J.) & Join-*  (S.)  On med-
  ical education [etc.J.  Ibid., 1882, v, 314.—[etc.]

           Journal (yonpareil) entries.

  The following is an example of a journal entry,
giving author's name, title of  article,  title  of
periodical, date of  meeting of society,  place of
publication,  date of publication, series, volume,
pages, and plate:
    ISciijamiii (H.)   Action caustique de  l'acide salicy-
  lique sur la muqueuse cesophagienne et gastrique dn ch'e-
  val.  Compt. rend. Soc. de biol. 1877, Par.,  1879, 6. s., iv,
  105; 109, 1 pi.
  Attention is directed to the omission of the com-
ma before the first date in the foregoing example.
The year 1877  is the year of meeting of Society,
while 1879 is the year of publication.
  The compositor is expected on taking out copy
to see that the cards are in  proper alphabetical
order; also, that the same "credit", occurring two
or more times  consecutively, being given  in full
in the first, is  changed to "Ibid." in  subsequent
cards.
  Anonymous cards (cases) will be arranged under
the word [Cases.], chronologically.
  "Death; autopsy"; "mort; autopsie";  "Tod;
Autopsie": in these cases the  words  "death",
"mort", "Tod", etc., are to be dropped.
  In bulletins and transactions of medical socie-
ties, use following  forms:  [Rap. de  Bouligny.]
[Rap. deM. de Noel.]

                     Leads.

  Matter is set solid, and leads are used only in the
following instances:
  A lead is inserted after a Nonpareil note.  Where
two or more notes come together, they are set solid,
a lead being  inserted only after the last one.
  A lead is not inserted between the ending of
Brevier (small cap., subject) cards and the begin-
ning of  Nonpareil  (journal) cards, unless a note
accompanies the last of the Brevier cards. The
following example will explain this clearly:
    Zuccakeli.i (A.)   Degenerazione  e delin-
  quenza.  Saggidiantropologia criminale. Rac-
  colta di osservazioni.  8°.  Napoli,  1891.
    Also [Abstr.], in:  Anomalo, Napoli, 1889, i, 110-113.
    Abbott (A.)  The physiology of the rogue.  Sanita-
  rian, N. Y., 1888, xx, 289-303.—Algeri (G.) Gli [etc.].
  A lead should be inserted before every Long
Primer heading, and,  in  locality  cards,  before
every  Old Style cap., Old Style lower-case, and
italic heading; also after a subject card when fol-
lowed by an author card.

Marks to be used on copy and on proof slips in denot-
                ing styles of type.

  s. c, or two  black lines, denote small capitals
(subject authors).
  ital., or one black line, denotes italics.
  rom., denotes roman.
  Three blue lines denote Long Primer Title (sub-
ject headings).
  Two  blue  lines  denote  Brevier Title  (author
entries).
  One blue line denotes Nonpareil Title (journal
authors and  references).
  One green line denotes  Brevier Antique (sub-
ject and author references). 
G
  The sign for author cards, O (in red); that for
subject  (book)  cards, X (in blue);  that for sub-
ject (journal) cards, XX (in blue); that for sub-
ject headings (Long I'rimer cards),  brown paper.

                Xotes and references.

   History of New York.

                  Ordinal numbers.

   The  German method  of indicating an ordinal
number, by adding a period to the figure, has been
adopted  in all cases (except in the  body  of the
title, where copy is to be followed);  thus, 2. v., 5.
V., 3. Auli., 10. ed.,  indicate second  volume, fiinfte
Folge, dritte Autlage, and dixieme Edition.

            Pagination—use of semicolon.

   Where there  are two  volumes,  as  in  the  fol-
lowing example, the  pagination of each is sepa-
rated by a  semicolon and  the "pp."  is repeated:
A lid I'll I (G.)   Precis d'anatomie pathologi<|ue.
  2v.   x, V7|i pp.; })<)(; pp.,  1 1.   8".  Paris, Gabon,
  1S2!).
              References—arrangement.


  Where two or more references follow each other,
they  will be arranged  alphabetically,  and the
word  " Also"  omitted,  except  in  cases  of  bio-
graphical references, where the  "Also"  will be
used.   The following are examples:
    See, also, Atti  (Ii.)  Notizie  edite ed  inedite,  |etc.|.
  i\   liolotinti, ls47.-Ur.M>h.'im|)« (F.-.J.)  Traite histo

  Also : Rev. scient. d. med. d. armees. Par., 1861, vi, 253 270.
             Repetition of title of journal.


  As to the  term  "Also: Ibid.", it  may occur in
different  cases,  viz,  in  a case  where  the  same
article is reprinted in  the same journal, or  as in
the following:
    Syst. 1'ract. M. (Tweedic). Loud.  .Ito, Ibid.. Phila,
    Syst. Surg. (Holmes), Lond.  Also, Ibid., N. Y.
     In: Liber de morbo gallico, etc.  12\  Venetiis, 1535,
  8 1.   Also, in:  Liisinus . .  .   Alto, in: Mohbi yallici,
  [etc.].  4\   liasileo;  1536, 217 226.  Also: Ibid.   8°.
  iAigduni, 1530,201-210.
  Where "Also, Reprint" intervenes between ar-
ticles printed in the same journal, the title of the
journal Avill  be given in full instead of the usual
"Ibid.".  Example:
    IVcubertG.)  Ueberdie Veianderungen [etc.].  Arch.
  f. kliu. Chir.. Berl., 1880. xxv, 116-139.   Also,  Reprint,
  ------. Bericht fiber die [etc.|.  Arch. f. klin. Chir.. JScil.,

"Resume" or  "C. r." in Danish, Finnish and Rus-
                        sian.

  The style in articles in the above  languages, as
also in Swedish, with a  "Resume"  or "C. r." in
French, is to be thus:
    HU-in (V. S.)   Et Tilfalde af  Bezolds mastoiditis,
  helbredet efter erysipelas, samt Funktion  undersonelso.

             Subject (small cap.) cards.

  The following is an example of a subject (small
cap.) card:
    BCchnkr (W. F.)   *Aueurysma der Arteria
  cordis  sinistra.    [Leyden.J   X\   Amsterdam,
  1867.                                             '
  In  the foregoing  example it will be observed
that  only  the author's name, the  title of work,
size,  place of publication, and year are given.
The name in brackets indicates the university at
which  the work was written, and occurs only in
dissertations.
  Sometimes the edition and number of volumes
are added.  Thus:
    -----.   The same.  2. ed.  2. v.  8    Paris
  1867.                                             '

  In  subject c;iids, only the initials of an author's
forename are given, unless the author be a womau,
in which case the name is given in full. 
7
Subject cards preceded by "■
                                -.  See, also:".

  Where a 3-eni dash and the words "See, also :"
follow the works of an author, it signifies that
all the cards that follow are regular subject cards,
the author whose works precede being  the sub-
ject, and therefore these subject cards if marked
■with one blue cross must be set in Brevier, and
those with two blue crosses in Nonpareil, as in
the regular subject  cards.
  The "-----.  See, also:"  and the cards which
follow should always come after the "Biography"
or  "Portrait" cards—that is,  they follow after
everything else, but before  the cards of double
authors.  For  example  of correct style,  see Vol.
X, p. 219 (first series), under "Osiander (Friedrich
Benjamin)", Vol. XI, p.  395 (first series), under
"Plinius (Cajus Secundus)", and Vol. XV, p. 718
(first series), under "Vesalius (Andreas)", p.  736,
under "Vidal de Cassis (Aug. -Theod.)", and p. 767,
under "Virchow (Rud.  Ludw. Karl)".
