NOTES AND QUEBIES 



The Honourable Mrs. Gordon writes to say "whole passages of 

 Amido-Kyo have just been found in the Nestorian Stone Inscriptions 

 writes Rev. A. Villion to me who (a fine Japanese scholar himself) with 

 other scholars and native pundits has been working at it." 



It is hoped to have rubbings with the identical passages marked in 

 red ink in the course of time. Will any one interested in this com- 

 municate with the Editor? 



The Editor is indebted to Prof. N. Gist Gee of Soochow for help 

 in reading the proofs of the article on "The Agriculture, Botany and 

 the Zoology of China." 



The most interesting biography of Spencer F. Baird, by W. H. 

 Dall, published by J. B. Lippincott Co., has been given to the 

 Library. It does not concern China directly and we only mention it 

 that readers may know the work can be seen in the Library. 



Can any one explain the origin of the practice of the crossed toes 

 of the Yunnanese ? The country is still called the Chiao Chih Kuo 

 (25SSih )• The Li Wang Chih says :-« £ fl] B £ # H X » » & *

All communications and articles for the Journal should be 

 addressed to the Editor. 



Publishers and Authors who desire a review of their books should 

 send them early. 2 copies of each work if possible : one for the Library ; 

 one for review. 



If any members have odd copies of Journals, Vols. Ill, IV, VI, 

 VII, XV, XV, XXIII, the Secretary would be glad to purchase the 

 same, as applications are occasionally made for whole sets for public 

 libraries, and the numbers mentioned are out of stock. Will anyone 

 who can put us in the way of securing copies of any or all of the 

 volumes mentioned please communicate with the Secretary?
