Abstract
ALLOW me room for a few remarks on the Royal Geographical Society's “New System of Orthography for Native Names of Places,” just published in your number for July 2. The Society has earned the thanks of the public for grappling with the neglected and vexatiously inconsistent question of place-name spelling. Attention was called by myself to this subject in Notes and Queries of May and July, 1884, and I can take no exception to the vowel and consonant system suggested by the Society, save to the retention of the un-English letter x and to one other particular.
