Theobald: Salt-springs of Pegu. 
71 
I append a list of springs, a great number of which are not included in the published 
map of the province. I have therefore spelt the whole on a uniform system as given below, 
adding the mode used in the published map, where it differs from my own. I have endea¬ 
voured to convey the sound, so that the word cannot be mis-pronouuced through ignorance 
or ambiguity. The system is that already adopted in the naming of a very extensive collec¬ 
tion of Pegu woods presented to the ‘ Phayre Museum’, -Rangoon. 
Burmese names spelt on the following system:—

There is no f in Burmese, lip is its nearest representative; g is always hard.
