and Alt iic Series (abbreviated: UAS) will be discussed. (Indiana University Bloomington, & Mouton & Co,, The Hague). .tVlERI LEHTINEN,Basic Course in Finnish. UAS, Vol. 27, 1963. X X X I I I + 657 pp. Price: $15.00. This is such a detailed textbook of Finnish that hardly any additions or adjustments are feasible.
