In this note a bijection is constructed between the set of partitions of n simultaneously s-regular and t-distinct, and those simultaneously t-regular and s-distinct. Some implications of the map are discussed. As a generalized version of Glaisher's bijection, the map may be widely useful in other partition combinatorics. A previous conjecture concerning iterations of Glaisher's bijection is given a counterexample.
