摘要：In medical library work, the functions and relations of bibliography and classification are sometimes confused, and varying ideas as to what these terms denote and connote lead to further collfusion. The word "bibliography" (from biblion, a book, grapheinz, to write) originally denoted the writing of books. To the Greeks. the Bibliographos was a writer of books. In its modern usage, bibliography has come to connote or imply (1) The science of books, incluiding the scientific description of a book, like an object in natuiral historv, in such a complete and unmistakeable manner that its identification is always possible from the description; (2) a list, complete or select, of the known writings on a given subject; (3) a complete list of the writings of a given author. When such lists cover periodicals, public documents, societies, lectures, portraits, coins, medals, and the like, *they are commonly called check-lists. Of the first of these three kinds of bibliography, we have excellent examples in the catalogues of the incunabula made by Hain, Coppeinger, Voullieme, Collijn, Pellechet and others; of the second, in the subject bibliographies in the Index Catalogue and Index Medicus; of the third, in such author bibliographies as those of the writings of the great physicians of Guy's Hospital by William Wale, of the late Dr. John Shaw Billings by Miss Adelaide R. Hasse, of Sir William Osler by Miss Minnie Blogg. The check-lists of periodicals, abbreviations of periodicals and portraits of physicians in the Surgeon General's Catalogue are good examples of the other class.
