NOTE.

The orthography of proper names follows my system adopted by the Indian Government for the Imperial Gazetteer of India. That system, while adhering to the popular spelling of very well-known places, such as Punjab, Lucknow, &c., employs in all other cases the vowels with the following uniform sounds:—

a, as in woman: á, as in father: i, as in pin: í, as in intrigue: o, as in cold: u, as in bull: ú, as in rural: e, as in grey.
