From Raman scattering experiments on Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Y{sub {ital x}}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8+{ital y}} antiferromagnetism and lattice vibrations are investigated. The exchange integral is estimated as 1140 cm{sup {minus}1} at {ital x}=0.5. The energies of the vibrating modes of the O atoms on the CuO{sub 2} layers show drastic change with the decrease of hole concentration, while the modes of O atoms at the apexes of CuO{sub 5} pyramids do not, which is inverse to the case of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}}. It indicates that the doped holes enter O sites on the CuO{sub 2} layers in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Y{sub {ital x}}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8+{ital y}} and at the apexes in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}}.
