VI. CHANGES IN VERNACULAR NAMES. 



In addition to the list of changes given below it was decided to

 'European' where necessary. Also to abandon the adjectival form 

 of geographical names, as Bahaman, Californian, Texan, etc., 

 for Bahama, California, Texas, etc., except where the adjectival 

 form is required for euphony, as in Acadian, Cuban, Mexican, etc.; 

 and to substitute Northwestern for Northwest, where such desig- 

 nations occur.
