It will be seen that the Chmese, who, it must be born in 

 mind, got their religion from the Hindus, have preserved a name 

 of a solar-god-man almost identical with Tiki — namely, Taiki. 

 I might add that the Buddha Sakhya Muni, who is also a solar 

 god-man, according to the Chinese, was the son of the Queen of 

 Heaven, the " Lily Lady " (after the lotus) of Marichi = ray of 

 light. This name Marichi (ray of light) seems to correspond 

 to the Marikoriko (or twilight) of the Maoris, who is said to be 

 the wife of Tiki. The daughter of Tiki and Marikoriko was 

 called Kauatatci, a name that approaches the Esther, or Hadas- 

 sah, and El-issa, that is Venus, of Western Asia. The particle 

 ka, being a root common to many Turanian tongues, meaning 

 burnt or black, Ka-uatata might then possibly be " black Esther." 

 The Egyptian root was oka or dga, to burn (consume by heat) ; 

 Maori ahi^^Uve, and kapura=^&ve. The k sound in K-uah means 

 black, and?sA is man ; Cushite means, therefore, black man. So 

 in Hindu, /.«-?/«— ^tlie crow, that is the black bird — the original, 

 I believe, of the kaaia (sparrow-hawk) that roused up Tawaki, 

 and is called his ancestor, thus betraying his Turanian or dusky 

 orighi. So we have in Hindu Kali, and Krishna, both meaning 

 black. But this is by no means the only correspondence 

 between Maori tradition and Western Asiatic antiquities ; for 

 the latter have been intimately connected with those of India ; 

 but these analogies I have reserved for my next paper, as they 

 connect more with the Aryan portion of the subject. 



But if Marikoriko is Tiki's wife, so is (according to the 

 Earawa Maoris) Paul ; ])erhaps, as Kali is the terrestrial repre- 



• By referring to the reference figures in the above table the connection 

 may be more readily traced.
