AUSTRALASIA, VOL. 1

Australia and New ZealandAll place names beginning with Mac or M have been spelt in full as Mac, beginning the second syllable with a small letter. This system has been adopted after reference to Dr. J. Scott Keltie, with whose approval I feel safe. It is often now impossible to determine how the stockman who first surveyed a country from Mac s Look-out, or first watered his flock at Mac s Water-hole, preferred to spell his name. When we find two brothers spelling their name, one Macallister and the other m allister, geographers may be excused for adopting a uniform spelling of this prefix.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
