_NOTE_
The orthography of proper names follows the system adopted by the
Indian Government for the _Imperial Gazetteer of India_. That system,
while adhering to the popular spelling of very well-known places,
such as Punjab, Poona, Deccan, &c., employs in all other cases the
vowels with the following uniform sounds:--
_a_, as in wom_a_n: _a-accent_, as in l_a_nd: _i_, as in pol_i_ce:
_i-accent_, as in intr_i_gue: _o_, as in c_o_ld: _u_, as in b_u_ll:
_u-accent_, as in r_u_le.
