During the winter of 1889-'y0 Dr. Daniel G. Brintou published two 

 pai)ers in the proceedings of the American Philosophical Society main- 

 taining that the ethnic affinities of the ancient Etruscans lay in the 

 direction of the Libyans on the North African coast. His arguments 

 were that the Etruscans were tall, blonde, and dolicho cephalic, which 

 was also the type of the Libyans ; that their social life and form of 

 government was much closer to African than to Asiatic models ; that 

 their own traditions unanimously stated their advent on Italian soil to 

 have been by sea from the south ; and finally, that their language, 

 what little we know of it, seems to have roots and forms, explainable 

 by the Libyan dialects. This last argument Dr. Brinton expanded at 

 .^ome length in his second paper entitled "xV Comparison of Etruscan 

 and Libyan Names," in which he attempts to analyze a number of 

 Etruscan personal mythological and geograi)hic names by the various 

 modern and ancient Libyan dialects.
