These are revised pages--in other words, cancel leaves ("cancellantia", if you want to be fancy about it) meant to replace leaves containing errors of some kind that were to be cancelled (the "cancellanda") and replaced with the cancellantia in course of binding. The usual practice of printers was to slash the leaves to be cancelled, in order to force the binder to make the extra effort required to remove and replace the leaves, but that didn't happen in this case--though at least the binder didn't throw away the cancellantia.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">
Your copy is therefore anomalous. The book should be described as if the replacement had been done, since that was the intended form of the book ("ideal copy" in bib-speak), with a copy-specific note about your copy. If I were doing this ('cause it's the sort of thing I do...) I'd add a note to the OCLC record (assuming there is one) describing how the cancels were printed, because what you have is manifestation-level evidence <i>about</i> correctly bound copies that isn't available in them. (Cancels can usually be spotted in detailed examination, but reconstructing the printing of the cancellantia is difficult-to-impossible.)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Congratulations on your find ...</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><font face="'courier new', monospace">RICHARD NOBLE :: RARE MATERIALS CATALOGUER :: JOHN HAY LIBRARY</font><div><font face="'courier new', monospace">BROWN UNIVERSITY :: PROVIDENCE, R.I. 02912 :: 401-863-1187</font></div><div><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><</span><a href="mailto:RICHARD_NOBLE@BROWN.EDU" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace" target="_blank">Richard_Noble@Br</a><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><a href="http://own.edu" target="_blank">own.edu</a></span><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">></span></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 3, 2020 at 4:32 PM Jones, Angela <<a href="mailto:arjones@mail.smu.edu">arjones@mail.smu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a rather unusual situation, and I am hoping someone can help!
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am cataloging a volume that has a number of re-printed pages at the end of the work; there are a total of 18 such pages. For example, pages 61-66 are reprinted at the back of the book, with some changes in the text. Those pages are followed
by a reprint of pages 163-164, then a reprint of pages 455-458, etc. Not only are the original page numbers retained, but the original signatures on those pages are retained. Page 163 is marked with X2 on both the original version in the text as well as the
revised page printed at the end of the book. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I plan to put in a note about these. Should I call these pages errata leaves, revised pages, or something else?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m also not sure exactly how to record the extent of the errata leaves at the end of the volume in the pagination statement in the 300 field. They do have page numbers, but the numbering is not continuous. Would it be correct to record
that last sequence as “[18] pages in various pagings”? Or should I ignore the page numbers in this case and record “[18] pages”? This is somewhat complicated by the fact that the next to last section of the book is unpaged.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book is <i>Recuëil d'arrests de règlement et autres arrests notables, donnez au Parlement de Normandie …</i>, printed in Rouen, France, in 1748.<u></u><u></u></p>
