prefix stands alone, as von, van, de, it is not treated as 

 part of the surname. (For further information, refer to 

 page 23 of the 1959 edition of the U. S. Government Printing 

 Office Style Manual.) 



CoT'porate author. --Works issued under the authority of 

 governments, societies, institutions, or other corporate 

 bodies and for which no personal author exists, are listed 

 under the corporate author- -the organization responsible 

 for the publication of the work, sometimes referred to as 

 the publisher. (See [United States] Bureau of Biological 

 Survey (1915) in citations, p. 13.) 



Occasion may arise, however, in which you have the 

 name of a personal author, but choose to use the corporate 

 author instead. A series of reports- -annual statistical 

 summaries, for instance- -may be published by a govern- 

 ment agency, each year's report carrying a different 

 official's name as personal author. If you consider it 

 important to refer to the personal author of such a report, 

 list the reference under his name; if you are concerned 

 with the continuity of the series of reports, list all of the 

 reports under the name of the agency. (For examples of 

 citations lifted under the corporate author, see U[nited] 

 S[tates] Fish and Wildlife Service, p. 13.) 



Anonymous.— li the cited material has neither a personal 

 nor a corporate author, it is preferable to extract and quote 

 the pertinent information and refer to the publication in a 

 text footnote. 



If the author of a book published anonymously is known, 

 you may enter his namae as author, but enclose in brackets 

 since it does not appear on the title page. If no author caui 

 be identified, the book should be entered under its title. 

 This rule may apply to sonne encyclopedias and dictionaries, 

 unless the editor is well-known. If the name of the editor 

 is used, the word "editor" should follow his name, enclosed 

 in parentheses. 



Date.— The publication date follows the author's name. 

 In unbound papers, the date is usually found on the title 

 page, or in papers lacking covers, on the first page. In 

 government publications, the publication date may be found 

 on the title page, in the signature (a short line of type at the 

 bottom of certain pages of text), or in the imprint at the end 

 of the paper. It is not always a simple matter to determine 

 the date of publication on older works that have been issued 

 piecemeal and later bound together. In such papers you 

 may have to use the date of binding on the title page of the 

 volume.
