In the preceding table it will be seen tlmt the Circassian agrees in many words with the Kumtchatdale, which again has much in common with the Dacotah dialects. The Accad, on the other hand, connects more clearly with the Japanese and Loo Choc, not only in the ordinary vocabulary but in certain terms denoting the transmission of culture, such as sar, shirushi, write, sumuk, shomots, book, car, gisgal, durud, siro, gooseescoo, toride, fortress, bir, iru, paint, and cri, iri, servant. The civilization of Japan, therefore, is to be regarded, neither as indigenous nor as borrowed from China, but a civilization regularly transmitted along the line of Accadian migration, and sufficiently established to be able to reproduce itself in such distant regions as New Granada and Peru. How it passed from Japan to these coun- tries it is hard to Hi\y. Japanese junkt< have been cast on the western .shores of North America, and it may be that navigation had something to do with the transference of the Khita from the one continent to the other. But the other tribes of Hittito origin, the Choctaws, Iroquois and Dacotahs, seem to have entered upon their American home at the far north-west by the stepping stones of the Aleutan chain, and by the same route the semi-civilized Mound Builders must have reached tiie scenes of their long for- saken labours. Were tiiese Mound Builders not part of the Khita migration, and may they not even have been Quichuas and Muyscas on their way to a South- American home, where, under more I'avorable conditions, they rose to higher things and emula- ted the deeds of their ancestors in Japan and Chaldea ? There is a branch of the Kliita dispersion which I have merely mentioned, but which deserves fuller attention. It is that which I supposed to liave been driven into Nubia by the conquering Pharaohs of the eighteenth dynasty, the stock commonly known as Nubian or Barabra. I do not build anything upon the Bara- bra name, but simply allow their language to speak for it.self. I am also ignorant of its grammatical forms, but these Dr, Lepsius states bear no likeness either to the Semitic or to the Egyptian. They may. therelbre, be Turanian. The vocabulary is Hittite, if Ba.sque and the other languages I have connected with it be Hittite ; and, on a comparison with these languages, presents some of the most remarkable instances of the vitality of words that philology records. It is worthy of note that the Hittite Shcth or Ashtar was one of the principal divinities of Nubia. 11 liARABRA.

The vocabulary of the Barabra, judging by the limited speci- men of which I have bceu able to avail myself, thoroughly coincides with those whose resemblances have already been set forth. Some of the Basque analogies are very striking. Thus we have okera Barabra and choria Basque, bird ; aninga and anagea, brother ; kalg and galoa, bread; arykka and araguia, flesh ; karag and araga, fish (compare the Aino karasacki) ; igh and escua, hand ; oar and burua. head ; ogikh and guizua, man ; ougouk aud gau, night ; szurringa and surra, nose ; omorka, 1 15 Iroqnnis, noti int Nutchcx. ^ui/ufia, olosag caecliaca Ai/- ee Minetarce, ihean Hurnn, IttncriliK, '•/,-, geroo iV')/- idi'li ltd (wood).

In a paper read before the Society of Biblical Archaeology, I endeavoured to connect the Ziniri of Jeremiah XXV. 25 and of the Assyrian inscriptions (Records of the Past, I. 22, V. 34, 41) with the Suuierian people, and these again with Ziuvrau, the eldest sou of xVbrahani by Keturah.^ Zama- * I have alluded to the sanu' siilijfc t in an aitielt wliitli appeared in the January part of the '•lUitisli and Foreign Evangelical Keview.' Since that article was in press, however, I have discovered that tin; Sumerian family was in existence prior to the time of Zimran, being tliat of the Yorham mentioned by many Arabian historians. The uni- versal tradition is that the Katoorah, or descendants of Abraham by Keturah, united with the .Jorham, from whom the original Aumri and Zemirai de.scended. As one of their ancestors. Beer, was commemorated C IS retii ihw'lt in Anibia in tlie noit^hborhood ornn.i.'alitlnc structures, cunc^M•nin^ one of wiiicii Pal^ravc. rofbrrintr at the same time to Stonelion^c. says : '• There is little difference between the stone wonder of Kasseem and that ol' Wiltshire, except that one is ia Arabia, and the other, more perfect, in Enjiland." According to Pliilostorgius, the Homerita! were the descendants of xVbrahani by Keturah ; and the relation betwecu the Hebrew zimrau a song, and the Erse amhran, having the same meaning, enables us to understand not only the connection nf the fdrnis Ziniri and TTomeritic, but other pairs of win-ds like Sumer and Aymara, and Zinuihr and Amor. The Celtic dialects again, both as regards their grammar and vocabulary, present tuany Semitic features, such as might bo expected to exist in the speech of an Arabian family and the descendants of the patriarch Abraliam. It is worthy of note that the {)eoj)le of Ilonieir or the Honierittv) were notorious for speaking ;•. very corrupted dialect. In the Arabian historians, Homcir appears as a descendant of Kahtan, from who.se son Saba the Kahtanites were called Sabeans; but many old writers, Arabian and others, distingui.-h between Sabean.s and Ilonierita; ; and the conclusion of Dr. Russell, in his Con- nection of Sacred and Profane History, is tliat they were two distinct peoples, distinct yet closely related. Allowing the truth of the statement of Philostorgius that the Homerita; were the descendants of Keturali, a fact rendered probable by tlieir pos- session of the rite of circumcision, the most natural solution of the relation between Homerita) and Kahtanite Sabeans is that the latter were the descendants, not of Joktan, the son of Eber, but of Jokshan, the son of Abraham, and brother of Zimran, who also had a son Sheba, his eldest son, while tin; Sheba of Jokt.'in occupies a very subordinate place in the family of that patriarch. The language of the Hiniyaritic inscriptions confirn)S this, for we find that, like the Aramaean, it often replaces ahia inBokliara, it is natural to supi)ose that tlie Zemimi of his lino were the origiuatur.s of the name Samareand. The Ait Amor of Afriea with the Aymaras of Peru would naturally connect with thiis Becherite lino rather than with that of Zimran, through the Aumri. I havo not yet found the precise relation sustained by the posterity of Zimran, repre- sented probably by the Zamareni of Arabia, to the family of Yorham. Yet from the intimate connection of the Zinni with the Matiani of Media as set forth in the Bible and in the Assyrian inscriptions, and of these again with tribes of Jorhamite descent, it would seem that the two stocks had amalgamated.

Tliesc Jokshan- ites, with Zimritos or Ilimyaritos. made their way across tlie African contimiit, for the traditions of Bornou ascribe the foun- dation of its .ancient kiiiiidom to the Ilimyaritos oi' Aiabi i ; and, adjoininn' Bornou. lies the state of K.-ishna or Katsena, which, more perfectly tli.an the Kahtan of the Arabs, jirc.serves the name of the second son of Keturah. The languaue of Kashna is that of Haussa, which I have already associated with the Khlta-Sunierian confedor.icy. Loo Africanus informs us that the Berbers were iionerally thouirht to be the doscend.ants of the Sabeans, iiud Alexander Polyhistor, quoted by Joseplius. tells the same story. There are many other authorities that mi,ii,ht be quoted, did space perniit, to tlui same efteot. To link them with the Sumoriaiis of Babylonia is an easy task. Sir Henry Uawlinson uives many proofs for an early connection of the Lower Euplirates with the people of Southern Arabia, and speaks of a brick from llyuiar. a suburb of Babylon, as the only probable relic of the Arabian dynasty of Bcrosus, which Mr. Baldwin holds to be the same as the Median dyn.asty of that autlior, the word Madian or Midianite replacinu the term Me- dian. These Arabians, the leader of whom, according to the late George Smith, was Hammurabi, who built a city at Hymar, must have been the Homoritiv;, Himyarites, Zimri or Sumerians, a Semito-Celtic people, and the constant allies of the Turanian Khita. The gods of Yemen were those of Babylonia. It is also worthy of note that Merodach, the name of a god introduced by Hammurabi and generally associated with Babylonian mon- archy, enters as a constituent into the title of a king of the Zimri, Merodach Mudammik. Samarcand was supposed by many Arabian historians to have been the seat of Arabian (Himyaritic) monarchs, and Humboldt favoured their view. It was no doubt a stage in the eastward journeyings of the 20 Suuu'riaiis with tlicir Kliita citnt'o'leratc's. Tlicy K'l't their traces ill MrUi.i, as at Tjaii, where (Iruidical circles arc touniJ which •• M.

Dr. Fermison, in his " Rude Stone Moninueiits in all Countries," linds these stoiieheiii;(s in Ni»rtherii Africa, Asia Minor, iind even in India, and ni lintains their coiniiion origin. In Vevu wi> have I'lUtid them as the work of a Suinerlan peoph'; and I am Hrndy convinced that, wherever else they may be discovered, such, philo- logy, comitiL: to the ail ol" arcluicolotry, will show to have been their orii;in. It may appear a -omewhat improbable thing that a people sjieakinii a Semitic language, such as was the ancient Himyaritic, should connect with the so-called Aryan Cymii and other Celts. Sir Gardner Wilkinson, ho\vev(!r, .speaking of that sub-Semitic languag', the Egyptian, states that it has affinities with the Celtic and th- langua-es of Africa, and add;; : '• Dr. Ch. Meyer thinks that Celtic in all its inni-S mscritic feiturcs most strikingly corresponds with the old Egyptim." We have already seen that the lierber and Ilauss'a. both in point of grammar and voca- ]}u!ary, present much in common with the Celtic, and that there are well defined tA'ltic traces in the Aceid arising from the Sumerian relation:- of tint language. The Sumerian seems to have been iVuni tie. beginning a language peculiarly susceptible (if surrounding intluenee.-", ^o th:it, while in Arabia and Africa it retained a Semitic character, in Europe it approached the Aryan, and in Chahlea and Peru beeann; thoroughly Turanian. The Celtic dialect^ contain a great many Semitic roots, in the the jios.-ession of which they differ entirely from the Indo-Euro- pe:n languages, as tin y als(j differ from them, while agreeing with the .Semitic t'Higues, in several grammatical forms of no small importance. The ocetirreiiee of menalithic structures, so much resembling the Cymric erection called Stonehenge as to call for comparison with tiiat monument from many different writers, in constant connection with Sumeii.oi forms, is an argument that .applies to the Arabian Himyarites as veil as to other peoples wlio.-^e lan- guage agrees hettii' with the Celtic. Stonehenge itself was known as the work of Emrys and was a Cymric structure ; those erections of a similar nature, referred to by Ferguson, Cather- wood and Peu'ot-Ogier. as found in Northern Africa, relate to the i left their .ire founil 111 prob;i))ly •^^^•."
