In this paper we compare the formal specification languages Z and Abstract Machine Notation (AMN); the latter of which is due to Abrial. The strategy adopted is that of presenting the same specification both in Z and AMN and of commenting on salient differences as they arise. The specification chosen is a slightly revised version of the specification of an Internal Telephone Number Database found in chapter 4 of [4]. At the end of the paper some general conclusions are drawn.
