 **Accompanying material**.  Watch for differences in accompanying material, but do not treat as different edition on the basis of presence or absence of an accompanying material statement in the record.
+**Series statement**.  Do not treat as a different edition solely on the basis of the form of the series statement, or presence or absence of a series statement in the record or on the piece.  To be treated as a different edition, there must be a totally new series associated with the piece.
+**Language of the text**.  Treat translations, simultaneous publications in different languages, etc., as different editions.
+**Name of editor, translator, illustrator**.  Treat as a different edition if the item has a different editor, translator, or illustrator; if information present on the item is lacking in the record, compare the item in hand with the previously cataloged item.
+**Contents note**.  Do not treat as a different edition on the basis of the presence or absence of a contents note in the record, but watch for major variations in content of the volume(s).
+**Other notes**.  Watch for notes in the existing record or information in the newly acquired volume indicating differences in content, which normally require treatment as a different edition.  Indications of limited, numbered, or autographed editions/copies, whether in the volume or in the existing record, do not in themselves justify cataloging as a new edition.
