No. 6.] CA3IPBELL — IIITTITES IN AMERICA. 347 



As the Euskara thus manifest their relationship with the Tus- 

 caroras and the Wyandot devotees of Tawiscara, so the' Seepoh- 

 skah and other Dacotah tribes give unmistakable evidence of a 

 common origin with the Schapsuch and other members of the 

 CircassiaD family. Although I cannot find that the Circassians 

 make use of any words denoting relation, either as prepositions 

 or postpositions, in all other respects their grammar agrees with 

 that of the Dacotahs and Iroquois. The pronouns, whether in 

 their full or construct state, are prefixed, as the adjective seems 

 to be. The genitive is formed by prefixing the noun possessor 

 to the object ; the accusative precedes its governing verb; and the 

 order of the verb is pronoun, verbal root and temporal index.. 

 This is thoroughly Japanese or Peninsular, and thus the order 

 of the American languages I have associated wdth the Peninsular- 

 family.
