Our purpose in this note is threefold. After giving brief and selective descriptions of the topological and analytical realizations of $ K $-homology, we present our view of index theory. Sedond, we shall say more about our proof of the isomorphism of topological and analytical realizations of $ K $-homology since that lies at the heart of matters. In particular, we want to discuss the bordism step of the proof since this makes contact with a number of interesting topics including relative $ K $-homology and elliptic boundary value problems. Lastly, we want to work out a key step in the bordism proof in two special cases where the result may have independent interest.
