No. 6.] CAMPBELL — HITTITES IX AMERICA. 367 



My excuse for burdening these pages with so many compara- 

 tive vocabularies is that this is the only way in which I can 

 make patent to the ordinary student of comparative philology in 

 its ethnological connections the relations which the various peoples 

 I have had in review sustain to one another. The w hole argu- 

 ment for a Hittite population in America turns, first of all, upon 

 Dr. Hyde Clarke's identification of the Accadians with the 

 Khita ; and, secondly, upon my supposition that the Khupuskai 

 of Mesopotamia and Armenia were of the same stock. Bo this 

 as it may, I contend that there has been established a relation- 

 ship of the most intimate kind between the Basques of Europe, 

 the Nubians of Africa, the Circassians, on the borders of Europe 

 and Asia, the Kariens, the Japanese and other Peninsular peoples 

 of Asia, the Aleutans, Kaniagmutes (of Kadiak), the Dacotahs, 

 Iroquois, Cherokee-Choctaws, Muyscas, Peruvian and Chilenos 

 of America. Also I hold that the Celtic orio-in of the African 

 Berbers and Guanches and of the Peruvian Aymaras has been 

 demonstrated. To Dr. Hyde-Clarke belongs the merit of the 

 discovery which bids fair to revolutionize the science of ethnol- 

 ogy, a discovery which it has been a pleasure to me, as a labourer 

 in the same field with that accomplished and veteran philologist, 

 to confirm by new, and, I trust, not unimportant, evidence.
