Abstract

WITH regard to the recent correspondence in NATURE on the transcription of Russian names, may I direct attention to the fact that the Russian Academy of Sciences adopted a system of transliteration many years ago, and a note by Prof. J. W. Gregory giving the new rules appeared in NATURE on May 14, 1908, p. 42. In all the publications of the Academy the Latin transcription of Russian names is given in accordance with this system.
