1 The transliteration of Russian words, including the official names of 
Russian Gardens, follows faithfully the forms used by our Russian corre- 
spondents. Very frequently the form used in the text of a letter would be 
different from that on the printed letter-head of the same letter. Any 
attempt at uniformity here seemed impractical and relatively unimportant.
