Apart from Quine's own writings, I have learned most about the indeterminacy of translation thesis from [1] by Charles Landesman. Although I am sometimes critical of Landesman some of the following I regard as a development of his position. I am indebted also to my students, Carol Davies and John Campin.
An earlier version of this paper was read at the Annual conference for 1971 of the New Zealand Philosophical Association.
