290 THE CANADIAN NATURALIST. [Vol. ix 



HaviDg thus distinguished between Sumerian and Khita, I 

 return to the discovery of Dr. Hyde Clarke. He found many 

 points in common in the Accad and Peruvian grammatical sys- 

 tems, and proceeded to an examination of the vocabularies of 

 the two languages, or rather of the Accad on the one hand and 

 the Quichua and Aymara on the other. The result was such 

 an agreement that the affinity of the Peruvian tongues to the 

 Accad could no longer remain a doubtful question. It has thus 

 attracted the attention of many students of ethnology, and 

 among them of Dr. Daniel Wilson, who devoted no small portion 

 of his address before the American Association for the Advance, 

 ment of Science to Dr. Hyde Clarke's researches in this field. 

 The following is a sample of the agreement between the Accad 

 and Peruvian vocabularies : 



Accad. Peruvian. 



all kak. taque, Aymara. 



to be gan. kani, Quichua.

tral American. The Egyptian monuments present us with admirable 

 representations of both Dardanians and Tocchari. Messrs. Nott and 

 Gliddon in their joint ethnological work have furnished portraits of 

 the Tocchari, taken from these sources, and have drawn attention to 

 their striking peculiarities in regard to features and dress. It is not 

 a little remarkable to find these features and the peculiar head-dress 

 of the Tocchari reproduced on the monuments at Palenque and else- 

 where in Central America. It would thus seem that the old Votan 

 tradition which represented several tribes of one family as diverging 

 from an original seat and making their way, some by a land route, 

 others by water, to a Central American home, may be borne out by 

 facts.
