except in the last name of the above brief list, writes the initial consonant as pronounced, and an approximation to the vowel: perhaps sometimes a closer approximation to the vowel than the R.G.S.II representation. When one says pronounceable by the R.G.S.II rules, one means, not the refined pronunciation which only a scholar and a specialist in phonetics can achieve, but the first approximation to a correct pronunciation which is all that one can expect from a man who takes some interest in the matter, but is not a specialist: what Mr. Aurousseau (Geogr. J. Nov. 1942) has called the broad rendering. This brief experiment was designed to raise questions rather than to answer them. They can be answered only when we have more extensive and better contrived tables of comparison between the several systems of romaniza? tion, and some agreement upon the pronunciation expressed in R.G.S.II. The Editor will be glad to have criticisms upon the versions in the second column of the table, and any similar tables with examples of geographical names spoken in the other kinds of Mandarin. The writer of this note is greatly indebted to Dr. Lionel Giles, Dr. Simon, and Mr. Patrick FitzGerald, who have between them supplied whatever may be of value in it. A. R. H
