[[underlined]] APPENDIX II. [[/underlined]] 3-a. ---------------------- (6) The late Dr. V. K. Ting and I had many interesting discussions on this point; for example, in a personal letter dated 14 Jan., 1924, he wrote me: "My own impression is that they ([[underlined]] i.e. [[/underlined]], the ruling classes of Shu and Pa --- the latter state to be discussed in a moment, see [[underlined]] infra [[/underlined]], pp. 5 [[underlined]] sqq. [[/underlined]]) were Lolos, because a transliteration of a poem written in the Han time turns out to be in the Lolo language, and because to this very day the chieftains in southern Hupeh are all Lolos'. ----------------------------- (7) On the use of the latter appellation in ancient China, see page 24 of the text. -------------------------
