(T. W., p. 108), ci^, whoever. This character resembles 

 the Greek X, both in form and in phonetic value. 

 If the above resemblances are considered sufficient to establish the 

 probability of a connection between the Chinese ideologic characters 

 and the modern alphabets, the probability may be strengthened if we 

 can find further resemblances between the Chinese and the more 

 modern running hands. 



Among the tsau fu'' forms are the following :

The Chinese, as has been already mentioned, have no h sound; 



but the above characters are all labial, and all strikingly similar to 



our written B, for which, in hieroglyphic writing, either one of them 



could be properly employed.
