Ethnography is the scientific study of human social phenomena and communities, through means such as fieldwork. It is considered a branch of cultural anthropology, the branch of anthropology which focuses on the study of human societies.
An ethnography is an account of a particular people. Ethnology is the systematic collection, comparison, and contrast of ethnographies. So ethnography is specific, ethnology is generic. Another way to look at is that writing or collecting ethnographies is something anyone can do, but ethnology is a specific academic discipline, another name for cultural anthropology.
