Dear Shi Yukun and others I agree with James' Cyrillic-Latin transliteration, but point out one necessary modification: the rendition "Trudy Geologicheskiy Institut" is grammatically incorrect. A comma is needed thus: "Trudy, Geologicheskiy Institut". But the rendition "Trudy, Geologicheskiy Institut, Akademiya Nauk SSSR" is best - there may be more than one Geologicheskiy Institut, just as there is more than one Paleontologicheskiy Institut.

The "proper" way, from my perspective, is the following transliteration: "Trudy Geologicheskiy Institut" A fuller transliteration could be: "Trudy Geologicheskiy Institut, Akademiya Nauk SSSR" Different volumes in this series have slightly varying names. A "shorthand" way of citing the journal that I sometimes see in Russian bibliographies is: "Trudy GIN".
