add, with the Peruvian Apachic, the Circassian Pkhah and the 

 Accadiun Hubisega.^ Among the Dacotahs, the Mandans called 

 themselves Seepshoksh, and this is the Circassian Schapsuch, the 

 Accad Khupuskai, and the Basque Guipuzcoa. The name 

 Euskara also appears among the Iroquois as the Huron god 

 Tawiscara, and the title of a well known tribe, the Tuscaroras. 

 I do not claim all the American and Asiatic peoples thus asso- 

 ciated with the Peruvians as Khupuskian, but would rather find 

 in them, together with the actual bearers of the Khupuskian 

 name, members of the same great Turanian family which Dr. 

 Hyde Clarke calls Khita and which the ancient Indians called 

 Asura, names that are probably co-extensive and equally appli- 

 cable to the non-Sumerian representatives of the Accad stock. 

 The following table exhibits the Khupuskian (Basque and Cir- 

 cassian) relations of the Peruvian languages, relations which are 

 more plainly visible when the intermediate members of the Khita 

 family, the Peninsular tongues of Asia and the allied languages 

 of North and South America are taken into the comparison.

* Pisca or Bochica of the Muyscas, Apachic [of the Peruvians, and 

 Eefeekeesa of the Muskogulges are represented as diluvian heroes or 

 divinites. In Chaldea, Hasisadra or Xisuthrus was such. But in Eve- 

 chous, whom Africanus and Eusebius make the first Chaldean king 

 after the flood, it is easy to recognize the Hubisega of the Accadians, 

 while the Muskogulge Eefeekeesa and Peruvian Apachic almost per- 

 fectly reproduce the Greek form of the Hittite name handed down by 

 the two fathers.
