ANGLI IN ORIENTE

Sut,—In my letter in your issue of July 23rd there is a transposition. Line six should read: "In the latter there has been an improvement in the past thirty years, among the former a deterioration," i.e., the rating of the non-official generally has improved—that of the official has not. Also for "Rivet Carnes" read "Rivets Carnacs."
