[May 7, 



around upon the surface of the globe for parallels of linguistic families 

 relegated to insular homes, we find the Elu upon the island of Ceylon in 

 the Indian ocean, and the extinct Tasmanian upon Tasmania island, 

 widely distant from Australia. The Harafuru or Alfuru languages of 

 New Guinea and vicinity, are spoken upon islands only. Almost wholly 

 confined to islands are the nationalities speaking Malayan, Aino, Celtic, 

 Haida and Ale-ut dialects ; only a narrow strip of territory new shows 

 from which portion of the mainland they may have crossed over the main 

 to their present abodes.
