FOOTNOTES

[1] This does not hold for Westernised places like Tokio, as I afterwards discovered, where the European method of clapping is much in vogue.

[2] The native name for the mail-cart-like hand-carriage I called a rickshaw at first. It is only in Yokohama and such Europeanised places that the word rickshaw is understood.

[3] I now know that I ought to have given very much more than three times the price to the peasants had I been anywhere but in the most unsophisticated parts.

[4] Betto, name for native groom.

[5] An account of this has appeared in the Transactions of the Manchester Philosophical Society, 1909.
