We test the AdS-CFT correspondence in the case of a $d=4$ N=2 superconformal field theory by comparing chiral anomalies which are of order N in the 't Hooft large N limit. These include corrections of order $1/N$ to the conformal anomaly, thus testing the correspondence beyond the extreme large N limit. The field theory anomalies are reproduced by terms in the 7-brane effective action in the bulk.
