Abstract
IT might be out of place to trouble your readers with any lengthy discussion of the many difficulties and snares that beset the path of the transcriber of Caucasian place-names, and of the discrepancies to which they may easily give rise. Nor shall I ask you for space to defend, in any detail against your reviewer's strictures, my own system—or want of system—in dealing with Caucasian nomenclature. In so far as I may have deviated from the principles laid down by the Committee of the Royal Geographical Society, of which I was a member, and adopted by the British Admiralty, the Government of the United States, and other bodies, I am very ready to submit myself to expert criticism or correction.
