I have experienced considerable difficulty in the spelling of proper names. As regards the Javanese names of persons and places, I have followed the Dutch spelling, substituting *j*, *ch*, and *u*, respectively, for *dj*, *tj*, and *oe*. I have also used *y* and *v* respectively for *j* and *w*, except where these occur at the beginning of a word. The modern Javanese personal names are spelt exactly as in Dutch. As regards the Chinese names, I have followed the English, French, and Dutch spellings, according to the source from which I derived my knowledge of them.
