Note 6 — Chapter II · Symbols of Music Defined

The Germans use the same pitch designations as we do with two exceptions, viz., our B is called by them H, and our B♭ is called B. The scale of C therefore reads: C, D, E, F, G, A, H, C; the scale of F reads F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F. The signatures are in all cases written exactly as we write them.

In France and Italy where the "fixed DO" system is in vogue, pitches are usually referred to by the syllable names; e.g., C is referred to as DO (or UT), D as RE, etc.
