SECOND EDITION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, ^' ^-^ '" '"^ Maech, 1901. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. The House of Eepresentatives, on February 26, 1900, ordered that this Second Report of the United States Board on Geographic Names be printed. Accordingly, it was printed and issued in May, 1900, as House of Representatives Document No. 472, Fifty-sixth Congress, first session. The edition was "the usual number," viz, 1,850 copies. At the same time the Government Printing Ofiice stereotyped the plates and printed and bound a few copies for its own use. On April 30, 1900, the Senate passed a concurrent resolution directing the printing and bindir^g of 8,000 additional copies of this report. About ten months later, viz, on February 25, 1901, the House of Represent- atives concurred, and thus the printing of 8,000 copies was ordered. This book is printed under that authority, and differs very slightly from the original Congressional edition of Maj'^, 1900. Advantage has been taken of the opportunity to incorporate in this second edition of March, 1901, corrections of such errors as have been discovered in the original edition of May, 1900. These corrections are for the most part trifling, and affect the spelling of but three names, viz: Chau- tauqua, Merrimack, and Nez Perce. Marcus Baker, Seereta/ry Boa/rd on Geographic Na/mes.

The United States Board on Geographic Namea was created by an Executive order issued by President Harrison September 4, 1890. Prior to that date there was an unofficial organization, composed of ten persons, all employed in the public service, all engaged in geo- graphic work, and all keenly sensitive to the confusion and contradic- tions in geographic names as used in Government publications. The first step, beyond informal conference, toward the formation of the Board is recorded in the following letter: TJ. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Office, Washington, D. C, January 8, 1890. Dear Sie: All who have been engaged at any time in the preparation of maps, charts, gazetteers, or any other documents of a geographical character must have observed the numerous instances of variation in orthography in geographical names. This gives rise frequently to much inconsistency, not only as to Government publica- tions in general, but in individual instances, it not being uncommon to find the same name spelled in more than one way upon maps or charts issued by the same bureau or even upon a single chart or map. The Coast and Geodetic Survey has suffered much annoyance from this variety in orthography which appears in Government publications, not being always able to determine to its own satisfaction which is cor- rect. Feeling that other departments of the Government must have experienced similar difficulty in deciding questions of this kind, it has seemed to me wise to sug- gest the organization of a board made up of representatives from the different Gov- ernment services interested, to which may be referred any disputed question of geographical orthography, and the decisions of which shall be finally accepted by all interested therein. I have therefore ventured to take the initiative in this matter by sending letters similar to this to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Hydrographer of the Navy, the Postmaster-General, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the chairman of the Light-House Board, the president of the National Geographic Society, and the Chief of Engineers, United States Army. I would be pleased to have your opinion as to the advisability of such a course, and if your judgment is favorable to the formation of such a board as that suggested I will be glad to co-operate with you and others who are similarly inclined in its organization. Yours respectfully, T. C. Mendenhall, Superintendent. 11 12 SECOND BEPOKT OF U. 8. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. In response to this letter favorable replies were received from the Hydrographic Office in the Navy Department, the Geological Survey in the Interior Department, the Corps of Engineers in the War Depart- ment, the Light-House Board in the Treasury Department, the Smithsonian Institution, and the National Geographic Society. On March 18, 1890, the first and organizing meeting was held in the office of the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, there being present T. C. Mendenhall, Superintendent Coast and Geodetic Survey; Herbert G. Ogden, assistant, Coast and Geodetic Survey; Lieut. Richardson Clover, U. S. N., hydrographer, Navy Department; Capt. Thomas Turtle. Corps of Engineers, War Department; Henry Gannett, Geological Survey; Capt. Henry L. Howison, U. S. N., Light-House Board, and Prof. Otis T. Mason, Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Mendenhall called the meeting to order, stated its objects, and withdrew, whereupon he was unanimously invited to return and serve as a member of the Board. He accepted, returned, and was chosen chairman, and Mr. Clover secretary. To this body of seven, thr6e other persons were soon added, viz, Andrew H. Allen, of the State Department; Pierson H. Bristow, of the Post-Office Department, and Marcus Baker, of the National Geographic Society. Subsequent meetings were held April 23, May 6, and June 3, at which the scope of work to be done, the methods to be employed, principles to be adopted, and the character of organization were con- sidered and agreed upon. It was soon apparent that progress in secur- ing the reforms aimed at could be hastened by making the Board an official one. Accordingly the matter was brought to the attention of President Harrison, who, on September 4, 1890, issued the Executive order printed on page 6. Under that order the volunteer or departmental board met at the Navy Department October 7, 1890, and formally organized as the present United States Board on Geographic Names. The original membership is set forth in the Executive order. In the early history of the Board much time was given to discussing principles and modes of procedure. In some instances an entire meet- ing was given over to discussion, not a single decision resulting. Gradually, however, progress was made in establishing principles and methods of procedure. At present these are well established and the decisions promptly reached after the necessary facts touching the names considered have been gathered and tabulated. Originally the Board was composed of ten members. Its present membership is twelve, of whom five were original members. The mem- bership, past and present, together with departments, bureaus, offices, and institutions represented, is set forth in the following table: ORIGIN AND HISTORY OP THE BOARD. 13 Department and bureau.

The officers of the Board are a chairman, a secretary, and an execu- tive committee of three. Mr. T. C. Mendenhall served as chairman from the creation of the Board, in 1890, till his departure from Wash- ington, in June, 1894, since which time Mr. Gannett has served con- tinuously as chairman. Mr. Clover served as secretary from the beginning till October 6, 1891, and Mr. Baker has served from that date to the present. The present executive committee is Messrs. Allen, Baker, and Ogden. The Board holds monthly meetings from October to June, both inclusive. It has held 80 meetings, the first on March 18, 1890, the last (at date of this writing) on April 4, 1900. Of these meetings four were held prior to the Executive order constituting the official Board. It has decided 4,157 cases. It has also, after an examination of the disputed cases, approved a certain form of spelling for the names of the counties of the United States, numbering 2803. It has published and distributed a first report, three bulletins, and several leaflets and pamphlets containing decisions. All of the decisions con- tained in all of these publications are here reprinted, with the addition of new decisions, and with revision and correction of such omissions and errors as have been detected. In connection with the work of the Eleventh Census several hun- dred names of minor civil divisions were brought to the Board for 14 SECOND BEPOKT "OF V. S. BOARD ON GEOGKAPHIC NAMES. decision. Correspondence was had usually with the county clerk and the cases decided. Similarly, the Light-House Board and Coast Sur- vey brought to the Board several hundred names of features and lights along our coasts, lakes, and rivers. All the cases thus submitted have been decided and a corresponding advdJnce made in removing confusion in nomenclature. Shortly after the organization of the Board it was called upon to decide several hundred cases of disputed names in Alaska, where the nomenclature derived from native, Russian, Spanish, and English sources was, as it still to some extent is, in great confusion. The cases submitted were decided. It was seen, however, that nothing short of a complete revision of all the names would satisfactorily remove the existing confusion. The Board undertook to do this. About 6,000 names were entered on cards, along with citations of places where published. The work has not, however, been carried on to completion. All members of the Board were so fully occupied with other duties that neither time nor energy remained for this work. Arrangements have, however, recently been made, through the cour- tesy of the Director of the Geological Survey, by which the secretary of the Board may again take up this neglected work. ORIGIN OF AND CHANGES IN GEOGEAPHIG NAMES. With the exception of the names of political subdivisions, geographic names in this country have not, as a rule, been bestowed by any formal authority. The names of natural features, rivers, lakes, mountains, capes, etc., and of unchartered bodies of population have received their names originally from explorers, surveyors, and early settlers, and these names have been perpetuated by common consent. The names of States, counties, and municipalities of all classes, on the other hand, have been applied either by legislative enactment or char- ter, and therefore possess some degree of formal authority. Differences of usage exist to a large extent not only in the names of natural features and unincorporated places, but even in those of organized bodies of population whose names have been bestowed by formal authority. These differences have originated in numerous ways. In the unsettled parts of the country different exploring expeditions, ignoring the work of their predecessors, have given new names to features already named. As elsewhere noted, this difficulty has often occurred in Alaska, which has been visited in recent years by numer- ous expeditions. The transliteration of Indian names has everywhere been a fruitful source of differences in spelling, inasmuch as no two persons under- stand alike or render into the same English characters the obscure sounds of Indian names. POLICY OF THE BOARD. 15 It often happens in the case of the larger geographic features, such as extended mountain ranges, rivers, etc. , that different names have been applied locally in different parts and these different names have become well settled in usage. It frequently happens that railroads adopt names for their stations different from those of the towns or villages in which they are situ- ated and thus divide usage. To a much greater extent, however, than the railroads has the Post-Ofiice Department confused the nomencla- ture of the smaller towns and villages by attaching names to the post- offices not in accordance with those in local usage. Indeed, an exam- ination shows that there are in this country thousands of cases where the name of the post-office does not conform to the local name of the place in which it is situated. These differences are very confusing to those using the postal service, and it seems desirable to reduce their number as far as practicable, at the same time recognizing the neces- sity of having but one post-office of the same name in each State. By far the greater number of differences in usage, however, have their origin in carelessness or ignorance on the part of those making use of the names. Such errors appearing in print are frequently per- petuated, especially in popular works, and often supplant the original name in usage. Originating in these divergencies of spelling there is distinctly trace- able a development of geographic nomenclature which is on the whole proceeding in a beneficial direction. Its tendency is toward the dis- carding of objectionable names and the adoption of pleasing ones, and toward the simplification and abbreviation of names, particularly as shown in the dropping of silent letters. The Board, recognizing this course of development, deems it to be within its power to guide it, and even to forestall it, as far as its future course may be foreseen. The extent to which geographic names have been modified without being radically changed is scarcely appreciated. A large proportion, probably a majority, of the names of natural features have undergone changes in spelling to a greater or less extent since they were first applied, while of the names of political divisions, although established by formal act, a considerable proportion have also changed, and such changes have, in thousands of cases, become fii'mly established. There- fore the position assumed by some persons, that we should revert to the original forms of names, would, if carried out, result in changing the names of a large proportion of our natural and artificial features. POLICY OF THE BOARD. The Board is agreed that in general the name which is in common local use at present should be adopted. This is a broad, general princi- ple, and summarizes the policy of the Board, with the exception of certain classes of cases mentioned below. It covers cases of changes 16 SECOND REPOBT OF U. S. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. or corruptions of names, except where such changes or corruptions are considered to be unworthy of perpetuation. The Board clearly recognizes that the importance and value of its decisions depend upon their general adoption. To change corrupted forms back to pure forms, after the corrupted form has been estab- lished, is to make a decision which will not be followed. Such deci- sions are not merely useless; they are positively harmful. They tend not to settle but to unsettle usage. To restore such names as Port Townsend to Port Townshend, tysht to Psyche, Ozan to Aux Snes, Low Freight to L'eau frais, Sitka to Shitka, Possum to Opossum, is not always possible, howevei- desirable. The aim, therefore, of the Board is to discover and support by its decisions the forms in use in all cases, except those where specific and positive objections thereto are found to exist. That it should always succeed in this aim is obvi- ously impossible. Changes are constantly occurring. The Board can not if it would, and would not if it could, oppose change. The difficulties encountered in carrying out this principle of local usage are found mainly in determining what is local usage, or the pre- vailing local usage where it is divided between different forms. Where the local usage is so divided, opportunity is afforded for the selection of the more appropriate and euphonious of the names in use. The Board considers it desirable to depart from local usage in certain cases in order to effect reforms in nomenclature. Among these depar- tures approved by the Board are the following: («) The avoidance, so far as seems practicable, of the possessive form of names. {i) The dropping of the final "h".in the termination "burgh." (c) The abbreviation of "borough "to "boro." (d) The spelling of the word "center" as here given. (e) The discontinuance of the use of hyphens in connecting parts of names. {/) The omission wherever practicable of the letters " C. H." (Court- House) after the names of county seats. (g) The simplification of names consisting of more than one word by their combination into one word. (A) The avoidance of the use of diacritic characters. {i) The dropping of the words ' ' city " and ' ' town " as parts of names. All of these changes are warranted by the direction of development. The possessive form of names is rapidly disappearing, except in rare cases where good reason exists for its retention. In most cases this is effected by dropping the apostrophe and the final "s." In certain cases, however, usage or euphony appears to require the retention of the final " s," when the apostrophe only is dropped. Concerning the termination "bui"g" or "burgh," as Pittsburg, an extensive correspondence has developed the fact that in more than POLICY OF THE BOAKD. 17 three-fourths of the places having this termination the final "h" is not in local, use. The case of the termination "boro" or "borough," as Attleboro, is very similar. The present tendency is strongly toward the substitution of the abbreviated form. The Board there- fore deems it desirable and advisable to induce uniformity in this matter in the manner indicated. In the case of the word "center" as part of a name, as Mansfield Center, Center Rutland, usage appears to be about equally divided between center and centre, and the Board has adopted the first of the above forms of the word. Hyphens in connecting parts of names appear to be useless, while they add to the complexity of the spelling. The practice of adding the letters. "C. H.," meaning courthouse, to the name of a county seat is prevalent, especially in the Southern States. Frequently the place has two names, one .being its charter name, the other the name of the county with "C. H." appended; thus the county seat of Raleigh County, "W. Va., is known as Beckley and as Raleigh C. H. The tendency toward simplification is in no way shown more decid- edly than in the combination of the several words forming a name. Thus "La Fayette" has become well nigh universally "Lafayette," "El Dorado" has become "Eldorado," etc. The Board approves this tendency and will further it as far as possible without forestalling usage too greatly. The use of diacritic characters in geographic names in the United States, such as the German umlaut, the Spanish tilde, etc. , is rapidly disappearing. It would be impossible, even were it desirable, to oppose this change. The practice of adding the word "city" or "town," as Boise City, Drummondtown, as a part of the name is a useless complication, growing in most cases out of an optimistic spirit on the part of the promoters of the place. It is often misleading and almost invariably unnecessary. There are in Alaska a good many names of Russian origin ending in OBf>, which terminating syllable has been variously rendered o/, off, ow, and ov. The Board uniformly uses q/. Examples: Baranof , Chich- agof, Popof, Shelikof, etc. Outside of the United States, where the Department of State and United States Hydrographic Office are chiefly interested, the work of the Board is directed to the harmonization of American usage in geo- graphic nomenclature with the usage of the great map-making nations — England, Germany, and France. The Department of State, by reason of its diplomatic and consular functions, is intimately concerned with the present style, change of names, transfers of territorial jurisdiction, cession and acquisition of territory by various governments abroad, H. Doc. 472 2* 18 SECOND REPOBT OF U. S. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. and the proper forms of the titular political nomenclature of foreign states and nations. The interest of the Hydrographic Office is involved by reason of its publication of charts and sailing directions of all foreign waters, to the effective use of which uniformity of geographic nomenclature is obviously indispensable. The forms of foreign names recommended for adoption are determined on consultation of estab- lished usage, the best authorities upon ethnological and political his- tory and derivation, and current geographic and political information from authentic sources. Many names in foreign civilized countries present a peculiar diffi- culty and appear to require that a further exception be made to the general principle of following local usage. This lies in the fact tha,t many foreign names have been anglicized, and the anglicized form, often quite different from the local form (meaning by local form that in use by the best authorities in the country having jurisdiction), is well established in usage in this country. Such cases wherein English speaking nations use names differing from those locally accepted are not numerous, but they are among those most in use and represent the most prominent features of the earth; for instance, we call Deutschland Germany, Espaiia Spain, Livorno Leghorn. In many cases we translate the foreign name, if it is capable of translation, into English words. Other countries in turn treat the names of this country in a similar manner. Indeed, most non- English speaking people translate the name of this country into their own tongue, forgetting that geographic names, like personal names, should not be translated. It is unquestionably desirable and proper that local usage should be followed in these cases as well as in others, i. e., that the home names should be the ones universally used; but in most of these cases it is obviously impracticable to introduce this reform, at least at present. The people of the United States can not be induced to change from Germany to Deutschland, or even from Italy to Italia, or The Hague to 's Gravenhage. It is a reform, however, to which we may look forward and work toward and which may be attained in the future. It is understood by the Board that our charts of the coasts of foreign countries using Roman characters, made for the use of our Navy and merchant marine, generally require the use of the local forms of these names, while on the other hand popular usage in this country, espe- cially in oui- atlases and text-books, requires the anglicized form. The Board practically leaves this matter on the same footing as here- tofore, approving the use of local forms of foreign names upon our charts and the anglicized forms upon maps designed for use in this country. It hopes, however, that the way may be opened in the near future to the adoption throughout of the local forms of these names and the rejection of the anglicized forms. In such specific cases as have SCOPE OF ITS FUNCTIONS. 19 been brought to its attention it has decided uniformly in favor of the local form. Most of the nations of Europe, either through national boards or geographic societies, are engaged in the regulation of the orthography of geographic names. Their attention has been particularly directed toward producing uniformity in the transliteration of aboriginal names written in characters other than Roman. These nations have prac- tically agreed upon a system of transliteration, which, with one or two exceptions, has been adopted by this Board, thus coming into practical agreement in this matter with the rest of the civilized world. SCOPE OF ITS FUNCTIONS. From the wording of the Executive order creating the Board it understands and has uniformly maintained that its function is limited to the consideration of names as to which there is diverse usage. It does not give names to features, though f reiquently called upon to do so. It does not change names, even though in cases submitted there often appears good reason for making change. It does not, though frequently appealed to, deal with the question of pronunciation. It does not determine the generic character of the feature whose name is in dispute. It does not determine whether a stream is a creek or river; whether a body of water is a lake or a pond; whether an elevated tract is a hill or a mountain. It does not undertake the wholesale revision of the geographic names of any region or district and prepare a stand- ard list of such names, though the need for such is obvious and is from time to time pressed upon the attention of the Board. The Board does not attempt wholesale reformation of corrupted names or seek to restore original forms or pure forms, nor does it attach much importance to priority. It would be idle to attempt to now introduce New Amsterdam for New York, Lake Frontenac for Lake Ontario, Cat Lake for Lake Erie, Ouisconsin for Wisconsin, Ojibway for Chippewa, Konza for Kansas, or Ke-kan-ma-suk-sepe for Kalamazoo. Whatever diverse usage may be found in print, what- ever departures from or corruptions of old forms are involved in such names, any attempt to restore first forms would not contribute to establishing uniform usage. These old names are of interest to the antiquarian and scholar, but a stumbling block in the path of the man of affairs who wants to know the name now and how it should be spelled. As a rule, names are dealt with individually. If it appears that present usage is fairly consistent or established as to any name, that usage is, in general, adopted. All the foregoing are things which the Board does Tint do. What it actually does is to consider, one by one, names brought to its atten- tion as disputed. This dispute or discrepant use may exist in print or in speech, or in both. The Board, collecting all the facts deemed perti- 20 SECOND EEPOKT OF XT. S. BOARD ON GEOGBAPHIO NAMES. nent in each case, sifts them, weighs them, and decides what the name is and how the Executive Departments are to spell it. Its decisions are the "standard authority" for these departments. If they are fol- lowed bjr the newspapers, the schools, the publishers, dictionary makers, and private map makers, a long step has been taken toward securing the uniformity so much to be desired. There are three counties in the United States bearing the Indian name Pottawatomie, one each in Kansas and Oklahoma written Pot- tawatomie, and one in Iowa spelled Pottawattamie. The Board deems it desirable that the spelling of these names should be uniform, but it finds here "no unsettled question concerning geographic names" to be considered. Similarly, five counties, a large city, a river, a mountain range, and various minor features bear the name Allegany. The word is spelled in three ways, each well established and thus not coming within the scope of the Board's functions. In New York State and in Maryland there is an Allegany County; in North Carolina and Virginia an Alle- ghany County, and in Pennsylvania an Allegheny County. As to these respective counties the Board finds no diversity of usage and accepts the forms it finds. In the case of the river and mountains it finds diverse usage, and for these has adopted the form Allegheny. Three counties and ten post-offices in the United States bear this name Vermilion. The Board in this case spells the name uniformly Vermilion, irrespective of local usage, which is in some cases Ver- million, deeming the change so trifling and the gain in uniformity so great as to warrant this course. The dropping of the " h" at the end of the termination "burg" has been unifoi'mly followed by the Board, even where, as in some cases, this decision has conflicted with local usage. Thus it writes Lunen- burg, Mecklenburg, Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Vanderburg, and Williamsburg as the names of counties in Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Puerto Rico, meaning rich port, is the Spanish name of one of the West India islands acquired by the United States in 1898. In 1891 the Board adopted this form, conforming to the invariable local usage of that time and also to the practice of the country having jurisdiction. An act of Congress approved April 12, 1900, has established the form Porto Rico as the name of the island. HOW DECISIONS ARE MADE. Cases brought to the Board for decision are at once referred to the executive committee for examination and report. This committee examines each case, consulting printed authorities, such as mother maps, gazetteers, local historians, atlases, etc. Especially does it seek after, and it generally obtains, the local usage, to which it attaches great importance. Local usage is usually obtained by correspond. PRIKCIPLES FOE APPLICATION IN" THE UNITED STATES. 21 ence with county clerks, postmasters, etc. This information derived from correspondence is often supplemented by the oral testimony of persons having personal knowledge of the name under consideration. - The information needful for deciding may be obtained quickly, within a day or two, or it may take months. When the executive committee is satisfied, it tabulates the results on library cards. These cards are printed blanks whereon places are left for entering various items of information. When all the information is tabulated the executive com- mittee of three record their preferences, signing their initials. Thus there is a record vote of the executive committee. The cards so pre- pared are submitted to the Board at its regular monthly meetings, and considered one by one. Usually the executive committee agree on their recommendations. Not infrequently, however, there is a divided report. The case being submitted to the Board, a vote is taken and a majority, not of those present, but of the whole Board, is necessary to decide. The decision so reached is written at the top of the card, which is thereupon stamped Approved, with the date of the approval. Usu- ally, from one to sevieral cases, at each meeting, are by the Board sent back to the committee for additional investigation.

Such is the present practice -of the Board, a practice which has gradually developed as the outcome of experience. While experience has improved practice in the Board's operations, it has contributed practically nothing in the way of principles. The principles which govern decisions were at the outset considered and formulated with great painstaking and care. They were the subjects of many and earnest discussions and it is a matter as to which the Board congratu- lates itself that these principles so elaborated and adopted have so well stood the test of experience. The Board has found no occasion to add to or depart from the principles as originally established. 22 SECOND REPORT OF XT. S. BOARD ON GEOaRAPHlC NAMES. PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES. It must be understood that these are not designed as rvXes^ but as guiding principles, from which the Board reserves liberty to depart whenever, in its judgment, it deems it advisable to do so. (1) That spelling and pronunciation which is sanctioned by local usage should in general be adopted. (2) Where names have been changed or corrupted, and such changes or corruptions have become established by local usage, it is not in general advisable to attempt to restore the original form. (3) In cases where what was evidently originally the same word appears with various spellings sanctioned by local usage, when applied to different features, these various spellings should be regarded as in effect different names, and, as a rule, it is inadvisable to attempt to produce uniformity. (4) Where a choice is offered between two or more names for the same place or locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that which is most appropriate and euphonious should be adopted. (5) The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done without destroying the euphony of the name or changing its descrip- tive application. (6) In names ending in "burgh" the final "h" should be dropped. (7) Names ending in "borough" should be abbreviated to "boro." (8) The word "center," as a part of a nanie, should b^ spelled as above, and not "centre." (9) The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names should be discontinued. (10) The letters "C. H." (Court House) appended to the names of county seats should be omitted. (11) In the case of names consisting of more than one word it is desirable to combine them into one word. (12) It is desirable to avoid the use of diacritic characters. (13) It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts of names. PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. (1) Geographic names in countries that use roman characters should be rendered in the form adopted by the country having jurisdiction, except where there are English equivalents already fixed by usage. In cases where the English equivalent is so different from the local form that the identity of the latter with the former might not be recog- nized, the English form should be adopted, but both forms may be given. (2) The spelling of geographic names that require transliteration into roman characters should represent the principal sounds of the word as pronounced in the native tongue, in accordance with the sounds of the letters in the following system. PUBLICATIONS. 23 An approximation only to the true sound is aimed at in this system. The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and on the Continent of Europe generally, and the consonants as in English: a has the sound of a in father. Examples: Java, Banana, Somali, Bari. e has the sound of e in men. Examples: Tel el Kebir, Medina, Peru, i has the sound of i in ravine, or the sound of ee in beet. Examples : Fiji, Hindi. o has the sound of o in mote. u has the sound of oo in boot. Examples: Umnak, Unga. ai has the sound of i in ice. Example: Shanghai. au has the sound of ow in how. Example: Fuchau. ao is slightly different from above. Example: Nanao. ei has the sound of the two Italian vowels, but is frequently slurred over, when it is scarcely distinguishable from ey in the English they. Examples: Beirut, Beilul. c is always soft, and has nearly the sound of s; hard c is given by k. Examph: Celebes. oh. is always soft, as in church. Example: Chingchin. f as in English; ph should not be used for this sound. Thus, not Haiphong, but Haifong. g' is always hard (soft g is given by j). Example: Galapagos. h. is always pronoimced when inserted, j as in English; dj should never be put for this sound. Examples: Japan, Jinchuen. k as in English. It should always be used for the hard c. Thus, not Corea, but Korea. kh. has the sound of the oriental guttural. Example: Khan. gh is another guttural, as in the Turkish: Dagh, Ghazi. ng has two slightly different sounds, as in finger, singer. q should never be employed; qu is given by kw. Example: Kwangtung. b,d,l 1, m, n, Pi r, s, . > as in English. t, V, w, X, and z y is always a consonant, as in yard, and should not be used for the vowel i. Thus, not Mikindany, but Mikindani. All vowels are shortened in sound by doubling the following consonant. Examples: Yarra, Tanna, Jidda, Bonni. Doubling a vowel is only necessary where there is a distinct repetition of the single sound. Example: Nuulua. Accents should not, generally, be used; but where there is a very decided emphatic syllable or stress which affects the sound of the word it should be marked by an acute accent. Examples: Tongatabu, GaUpagos, Palawan, Sarawak. PUBLICATIONS. The Board is not directly provided with means for printing or dis- tributing its decisions. As a result publication has been desultoiy and unsatisfactory. 24 SECOND REPORT OF U. S. BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. Bulletin No. 1, an octavo pamphlet of 13 pages, issued December 31, 1890, was published through the courtesy and at the cost of the Smith- sonian Institution; edition, 7,000. Bulletin No. 2, an octavo pamphlet of 16 pages, issued May 25, 1891, was published through the courtesy of the Coast and Geodetic Survey: edition, 7,500. Bulletin No. 3, an octavo pamphlet of 14 pages, issued August 1, 1891, was published through the courtesy of the Light-House Board; edition, 8,000. The first report of the Board was published early in 1892 under a concurrent resolution passed January 25, 1892 (see Congressional Record, January 26, 1892, p. 562), as Executive Document No. 16, House of Representatives, Fifty-second Congress, first session. It is an octavo bound pamphlet of 56 pages. Edition, "the usual number" plus 10,000 extra copies, 1,000 for the use of the Senate, 2,000 for the use of the House of Representatives, and 7,000 for distribution by the Board "among the Government Departments, public libraries, and other suitable depositories." This first report contains all the decisions printed in Bulletins 1, 2, and 3, together with some additional ones. For some time after the publication of the first report the decisions of the Board from month to month were reproduced by the mimeo- graph, to the number of about 100, and sent to the Departments interested. Later the Treasury Department printed these as single leaflets, and later as thin pamphlets, in editions of 1,000. There are six such pamphlets containing the decisions: January, 1892, to September, 1895, 16 pages. October, 1895, to March, 1896, 5 pages. October, 1895, to April, 1896, 6 pages. October, 1895, to November, 1896, 6 pages. January 1, 1892, to December 31, 1896, 22 pages. January 1, 1892, to January 1, 1898, 40 pages. All these decisions, together with others hitherto unpublished, are contained in the present report. CONCLUSIOTSr. The Board again respectfully calls attention to the fact that it is without means for carrying on its work, save by the courtesy of the bureaus, oflBces, and institutions represented in its membership. It is without direct means for printing or distributing its decisions. It is without means for meeting the calls that are made upon it for publica- tions, for information, and for decisions. Its progress has, therefore, been slow, and might, indeed, have ceased altogether had not the calls made upon it — unceasingly made — attested a real need for some such agency or institution. To facilitate its work in the future it has adopted the resolutions contained in the letter of transmittal on page 5 of this report.

Aspiu- 47 Col— Coo. wall, one of the railroad company's principal shareholders, and afterwards president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The ofl;oial name given the city by the Colombian Govern- ment is Colon, the Spanish form of the pat- ronymic of Christopher Columbus. Designated as AspiNWALL by the United States Government from the year of its foundation until 1882. The Colombian name was adopted in the latter year and has since appeared in the printed diplomatic and consular list of the Department of State as "Colon (Aspinwall)," "Colon" be- ing recognized as the proper form, and "Aspin- wall " added in parentheses merely for the pur- pose of distinguishing the place for the guid- ance of persons unfamiliar with the Colom- bian name. — A.

Disappointment; cape at mouth of Co- lumbia river, Washington. Note.— On the 6th of July, 1778, Moares, in the ship Nootka, arrived off the cape and found that a " prodigious easterly swell rolled on the shore," and he had soundings in 16 fathoma over a hard, sandy bottom. "After we had rounded the promontory, a large hay, as we had imagined, opened to our view, that bore a very promising appearance and into which we steered, with every encouraging expectation. As we steered into the bay the water shoaled to 9, 8, and 7 fathoms, where breakers were seen right ahead, and from the masthead they were observed to extend across the bay. We there- fore hauled out." The name Cape Disappoint- ment was given to the promontory. It was called Cape Hancock by Gray, in 1792. He changed this name to Cape Disappointment upon hearing that Meares had so named it. Cape Disappointment retained by Vancouver, by Belcher in 1839, and by Ex. Ex. in 1841. Duflot de Mofras, 1844, calls it Cape San Roque or Disappointment. It was called Cape Han- cock or Disappoin tment at the first examination of the entrance to the river, in 1850, and the name Hancocli, subsequently. In a secondary manner in the Light-House List, but the name Disappointment is that used on the official charts and by all navigators.— Pacj/!c Coorf Pilot, 1889, p. iB6. 53 Dis— Dru.
