Principles of Practical Orthography for African Languages.—II.

At the suggestion of Professor Meinhof, to whose scholarly work on African languages we owe so much, I write a few comments on the foregoing article, which is the memorandum which he laid before the Institute when the Memorandum on A Practical Orthography of African Languages , recently published, was in course of preparation. That memorandum, Mr. Lloyd James's article in the last number of Africa , p. 125, and Professor Meinhof's article have well-nigh exhausted what there is to be said on general principles.
