VI. GENERAL REGISTER OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.

In the following list all names are included indiscriminately, whether they form the object of a more detailed explanation, or whether they are quoted for comparison only, either as names of analogous formation, or as names co-existing but belonging to the terminology of other nations and languages ; these latter particularly it might be difficult perhaps to find in the respective article, had they not been introduced into the present list. Occasionally it could not well be avoided to have names following each other which differ but very little. However, it may be of some interest to see, at the same time, all the names being terms actually in use, which elements are chosen with more of less predilection for forming Geographical names.

In the arrangement the letters follow the order of the alphabet, irrespective of the signs attached to them.

For facilitating the use of the register the following remarks may be added:

In the list of the names dialectical modifications and terms varying but very little remained united as often as the alphabetical succession of the letters did not interfere with the facility of finding them out. Also the names in smaller type are quoted with the respective Nos. only of the article, if their form assists one in finding where they belong to ; if this is not the case, the word is added under which they are then to be sought.

The word "see" is used to show the article under which, an explanation is to be looked for ; "compare" I have substituted where no details about its meaning. are connected with the name.

The words not beginning with a capital letter are those used in composition, and put together under the articles town, fort, village, from page the No. 163-5;
