[Used in journal entries only.] 
A Iphabetic 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 {Brevier Title) entries—examples.

Author and suhauthors. 
Where there is a subauthor or subauthors, the 
style will be as follows ; 
Argentine Republic. Ministerio de yuerra 
y marina. Servicio de sanidad. Reglameuto del 
cuerpo de sanidad del ejercito. 50 pp, B°. 
Buenos Aires, 1890. 
. Manual del enferraero militar. Compi- 
lado [etc.] por Tadeo Sztyrle, cirujano di regi- 
mento. 68 pp. 16°. Buenos Aires, J. Feuser, 
1893. 
In the foregoing example it will be observed 
that the single dash stands for the author ( 
tine Republic”) and two subauthors (“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 l‘See, also.” 
The following is"an example: 
For Biography, see Billings (J. S.) Memoir of Joseph 
Janvier Woodward. B°. Washington, D. G., 1885. 
United States. War Department. Surgeon-General's 
Office. [Obituary.] B°. [Washington, 1884.] See, also: 
Med. News, Phil'a., 1884, xlv, 249. Also: Med. Rec., N. T., 
xxtv, 997-999. Also; Nat. Acad. Sc. Biog. Mem., Wash., 
1884, xxri, 215. Also: Quart. J. Micr. Sc., Loud., 1884, n. s., 
1886, ii, 295-807 (J. S. Billings). 5

fol., folio. 
4°, quarto. 
sin. 4°, small quarto. 
B°, octavo.

12°, 16°, 24°, etc. 
Capitalization. 
The use of capitals for common nouns in Danish 
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 applies 
also to Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. 
Names of the months and the days of the week 
are printed with small initials in French, Spanish, 
Portuguese, Italian, and Russian. 
Chronological arrangement. 
References to journals of which a man was edi- 
tor will be arranged chronologically, and the dates 
covered will be given. Examples: 
Also, Editor of: Ohio (The) Medical and Surgical Be- 
porter, Cleveland, 1807-72.—Cmci it mail (The) Medical 
Advance, 1873-80. 
Collections of dissertations and theses. 
Size, place, date, volume, and pages will always 
he given in abbreviations of collections of disser- 
tations and theses. The following are examples: 
In: Eyerel. Diss. med. fete.J. B°. Yiennce, 1788, 
i, 2-16. 
In: Haller. Disp. ad morb. [etc.]. 4°. Lausannce, 
1758, ii, 17. 
In: LiNNiEUs. Amoenitates acad. [etc.]. B°. Lugd. 
Bat., 1749, i, 63-84. 
In: Louvain Diss. B°. Lovanii, 1756, ii, 61-109. 
In: Sandtfort Thesaurus diss. [etcij. 4°. Hotter- 
dami, 1768, i, 60-108. 
In: Weiz (E. A.) Neue Ausz. [etc.]. 12°. Leivz.. 
11776, iv, 27-37. 
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 
illustrate this: 
Continued articles. 
Fcltz (V.) & Ritter (B.) De I’uremic expOiinieiitale. 
Kev. med. de I’est, 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: 
Alien s'isilis of femoral artery. 
See, also, Aneurisms of groin; Artery (Femo- 
ral), Artery {lliac, Common), Artery (7 liac, Ex- 
ternal), Ligature of. 
In the foregoing example it will he noticed that 
a comma is used after each of the references 6 
“Artery (Femoral)", “Artery (Iliac, Common)", 
ami “Artery (Iliac, External)". This is done in 
order to avoid the repetition of “Ligature of" after 
each of these. The following also shows avoid- 
ance of repetitious in a cross-ieference. 
Hei •ilia {lnguinal). 
See Hernia [and its subdivisions]. 
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. 
The same rule applies to the letters a. l. a. 
Dashes. 
Instead of repeating the name of an author a 
dash is nsed, 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 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 where no comma 
is used. The following are cases in point: 
Andral (G[abriel]) [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 
“ & ” is omitted. 
An em dash is used to separate journal entries. 
This dash should never begin a line. 
Division of ivords. 
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; Uy, ly-ly; nny, ny-ny; ssz, sz-sz. 
In German, where pf is preceded by an r or an 
m, the pf belongs to the second line. 
When the Italian forms of the article dell’, degV, 
dalV, and all’ occur at the end of the line, they 
must be divided del-V, de-gV, dal-V, and all’. See, 
in this synopsis [p. 3], AMiili (Giovanni). 7

Dutch and Flemish. 
In setting Dutch or Flemish cards, omit trans- 
lations. 
With regard to the letters a a and ae, and ij and 
y, follow copy. According to the modern Dutch 
orthography, an 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, d and 6 are never 
printed a and 6 in modern words. 
German. 
Iu modem German, ae becomes a, and oe becomes 
d, except at the beginning of nouns, and in tbe 
names of persons and publications, and iu titles of 
old books, where copy is to be followed. In pure 
Latin words occurring in German entries, ce and oe 
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 iu 
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 he 
spelled in full. 
In Subject (Brevier small cap. and Nonpareil 
joux'nal) entries only the initial or initials of an 
author’s Christian name are printed, unless the 
author be a woman, in which case such name or 
names are given in full. 
French given names are connected by hyphens. 
Thus: Audouard (Mathieu-Frangois-Maxime). 10 
Greek. 
Translations are omitted in Greek titles. 
The first word of the title of Greek articles, and 
of Greek journals, etc., when they appear in their 
proper alphabetical place in the Catalogue, will 
lie 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 periodicals 
are given for convenience: 
’Acr/cArjTrtetop, Berl. 
’Au/cArjTTios, ’AOrjvat. 
croup. vyteu/., 'AOrjvai,

JlpaKT. tov %vveSpCov tcov 'EWrjvtav iarpcov, *AQrjvai<;. 
Hungarian. 
In Hungarian, o and it, and 6 and u, are distinct. 
Hyphens. 
In German, when the same component is com- 
mon to two or more compounds in succession, it 
will be written once only, its relation to the others 
being indicated by the hyphen; e.g., Pfeifen- und 
Saitentone; Yocalliinge und -kfirze. This will 
occur not only in nouns, but also in verbs and 
adjectives; as, Nord- und Siidamerika; anf- und 
niedergehen ; schwarz- und weissgestreift. 
Imprints. 
With regard to the use of the conjunction, use 
“short” 4'. 
The abbreviations Ca., Cia., Cie., Co., Comp., Ko., 
Komp., tioc., etc., should be set as in copy. 
The imprint of “Longman, Brown, Longman”, 
etc., becomes “Longman [and others\”. 
U[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; overruns, 
1 em. 
Subject (Brevier small cap.) entries: Indent 2 
ems; overruns 1 em. 
Journal (Nonpareil) entries: Indent 2-J- ems; 
overruns, 14 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, set in italics and 
indent 4 ems, overruns 5 ems. 11 
The following are examples of indentions for 
locality headings: 
Universities, hy localities* 
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 2\ 
ems; overruns, ems. 
Italian. 
A space is always inserted after an apostrophe 
in Italian; as, 1’ auimo, de’ lihri, 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 he given in full. Thus; 
Smith (J.) Medical education [etc.]. Boston M. & 
S. J., 1881, v, 231.—Smith (J.) & Jones (S.) On med- 
ical education [etc.]. Ibid., 1882, v, 314.—[etc.] 
Journal (Nonpareil) entiles. 
The following is an example of a journal entry, 
giving author’s natlie, title of article, title of peri- 
odical, date of meeting of society, place of publi- 
cation, date of publication, series, volume, pages, 
and plate: 
Xtenjaiuits (H.) Action caustiqne de I’acide salicy 
lique sur la mnqueuae cesopliagienrie et gastrique du die" 
val. Coinpt. rend. Soo. de biol. 1877, Par., 1879, 6. s., iv> 
105; 109, 1 pi. 
Attention is directed to the omission of the 
comma before the first date in the foregoing ex- 
ample. 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 ‘‘lbid.” in subsequent 
cards. 
“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.l 
[Rap. de M. de Noel.] 
*Tn the second series of the Index-Catalogue, all similar 
titles have and will have the designation “ by localities”. Leads. 
Matter is set solid, hnd leads are used only in the 
following instances: 
A lead is inserted aftdr 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: 
Zuccarelli (A. ) Degenerazioue e deliu- 
quenza. Saggidi antropologiacriininale. Eac- 
colta di osservazioni. B°. Napoli, 1891. 
Also [Abstr.J, in: Aaomalo, 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 followed 
by an author card. 
Maries 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. 
rum., 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 (subject 
and author references). 
The sign for author cards, Q ('" red); that for 
subject (book) cards, X (in blue); that for sub- 
ject (journal) cards XX (in blue); that for sub- 
ject headings (Long Primer cards), brown paper.

History of New York. 
Ordinal number. 
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 he followed); thus 2. v., 
5. F.,3. And., 10. dd., indicate second volume, flinfte 
Folge, dritte Auflage, and dixidme edition. 
Pagination—use of semicolon. 
Where there are two volumes, as in the follow- 
ing example, the pagination of each is separated 
by a semicolon and the “pp. ” is repeated: 
Andral (G.) Precis d’anatomie pathologiqne. 
2v. x, 579 pp.; 906 pp., 11. B°. Paris, Gabon, 
1829. 
Where two or more references follow each other, 
they will be arranged alphabetically, and the word 
“ Also" omitted, except in cases of biographical 
references, where the “Also” will be used. The 
following are examples: 
References—arrangement. 
See, also, Attl (G.) Notizie edite ed inedite, [etc.]. 4°.

Atso .- Rev. sclent. d. med. d. amides, Par., 1861, vi, 253-270. Repetition of title of journal. 
14 
As to the term “Also: Thiel.”, it may occur in 
different cases, viz, in a case where the same arti- 
cle is represented in the same journal, or as in the 
following: 
.Sysfc. Pract. M. (Twecdie), Loud. Also, Ibid-, Phila. 
Syst. Sui'jr. (Holmes), Lend. Also, Ibid., N. T. 
In: Liber de morbo gallico, etc. 12°. Venetiis, 1535, 
81. Also.in; Lr: i six us .. . Also,in: Moßßigallici, [etc.]’. 
4°. Basilece, 1536 217-226. Also: Ibid. B°. Luqduni. 
1536, 201-210. 
Where “Also, Reprint” intervenes between arti- 
cles printed in the same journal, the title of the 
journal will be given in full instead of the usual 
“I hid.”. Example: 
Nenber (G.) TJeber die Veranderungen [etc.]. Arch, 
f. kiln. Cliii-., Berk, 'BBO, xxv, 116-139. Also. Reprint. 
. Berioht liber die [etc.]. Arch. f. klin. Cbir., Berk, 
1881, xxvi, 1. Hft., 77-110. [Discussion], 346-353. 
“Resume” or “C. r.” in Danish, Finnish, and Russian. 
The style in articles in the above languages, as 
also in Swedish, with a “EdsumtS” or “C. r.” in 
French, is to be thus: 
Stein (V. S.) Et Tillable af Bezolds mastoiditis, liel- 
bredet efter erysipelas, sanit Funktion undersogelse. [Cas 
de niastoldite de Bezold gneri pendant le corns d:un drysi- 
pele, avec examen fonctionnek C.-r., no. 23, I.] Nord. 
mod. Ark., Stockholm, 1897, n. F., viii, bft. 4, no. 19,1-7.

nitis tubercnlosa-tapaus. [Gas deperitouite tubevculeuse 
gu£rie par laparotoinie. Res., 235.j Duodecim. Helsinki, 
1897, xiii, 227-231.—Solovtsoff (N. X.) 0 mikrooganiz- 
makh ospi. [Sur les microbes de la variole. Extr., 101.] 
Russk. arcli. patok, klin. raed. i bakteriok, S.-Beterb., 
1897, iv, 82-92. 
Subject (small cap.) cards. 
The following is an example of a subject (small 
cap) card; 
Buchner (W. F.) * Aueurysma der Arteria 
cordis sinistra, f Leyden. ] B°. Amsterdam, 
1867. 
In the foregoing example it will he 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. 6<l. 2v. B°. Paris, 
1867. 
In subject cards, only the initials of an author’s 
forename are given, unless the author be a woman, 
in which case the name is given in full. 
Subject cards preceded by “ —. See, also:”. 
Where a 3-em dash and the words “See, also:1 
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 it marked 
with one blue cross must be set in Brevier, and 
those with two bine crosses in Nonpareil, as iu 
tbe regular subject cards. 
The “ . See, also:” and the cards which 
follow should always come after the “Biography” Pages 15+ missing
