      The title of this paper is sufficiently indicative of its content. The author is, of course, particularly concerned to show when monics coincide with injections and epics with surjections, and when they do not. An interesting example, among many given in the paper, is that of the category of torsion-free abelian groups in which \(f: G_1 \to G_2\) is epic if and only if \(\operatorname{coker}f\) is a torsion group.
