My bad, I interpreted the issue as being one of parallel columns not pages, obviously not having read the original post carefully enough. It does appear however that a note is certainly in order in this situation, given the wide variety of different ways that different catalogers interpret that the numbering might be entered.
Having gone back to the original message, and with a clearer picture in my mind (I hope) of the situation, I would still bear in mind that we are recording Extent, and should try to indicate what we actually have in the book; so I now agree with Daniel that we should apply 3.4.5.5 to clarify the numbering on the last page of the sequence , "cxciv, 148, that is, 195 pages " and, as he says, add the note indicating that the numbering of pages 1-47 is duplicated. Otherwise, I guess we could always invoke 3.4.5.8 for complicated paging and enter "1 volume (various pagings)", with an explanatory note. Deborah Deborah Fritz TMQ, Inc.

In the examples we see, there *are* 47 (or whatever) additional pages, a sequence in each of the two languages or scripts. The same applies to recording pagination of tete-beche items, but usually not two equal paginations. The French text is usually longer than the English one in the case of English/French tete-beche translations. In many tete-beche of course, the two are not transitions of each other, but (for example) two works on opposite sides of a controversial topic. In all these cases there are two pagination sequences, less often missed with tete-beche than opposite pages, interleaved, or one following the other with the same orientation. Recording both sequences correctly gives the pagination of the item. Deborah, you used to always be *absolutely* correct on *everthing*. Are you no longer cataloguing, and therefore not seeing what is coming avcross our desks these days? __ __ J.
