NOTE
The orthography of proper names follows the 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, Poona, Deccan, &c., employs in all other cases the vowels with the following uniform sounds: —
a, as in woman: á, as in father: i, as in kin: í, as in intrigue: o, as in cold: u, as in bull : ú, as in rural.
