We may observe that the number of the ancient instruments mentioned in the
popular Chinese account agrees with the number of important instruments
described by Ricci, and the titles of three at least out of the four seem
to indicate the same instruments. The catalogue of the new instruments of
1673 (or 1668) given in the native work also agrees _exactly_ with that
given by Lecomte.[17] And in reference to my question as to the
_possibility_ that one of Verbiest”s instruments might have been removed
from the terrace to the garden, it is now hardly worth while to repeat Mr.
Wylie”s assurance that there is no ground whatever for such a supposition.
The instruments represented by Lecomte are all still on the terrace, only
their positions have been somewhat altered to make room for the two added
in last century.
