pacalucu. Otherwise the vocabularies have littlé in common. Never- 
theless, I have added a comparative table of Adaize words with possible 
equivalents, not only Celtic, Berber, and Peruvian, but also Yuman, 
Pujunan and Kulanapan, for the benefit of those who are interested in 
matters philological. Though their speech was much corrupted, it is 
not impossible that the extinct Adaizes were an eastern remnant of the 
Olmec colony from the Canary Islands, which made its memorable voy- 
age early in the eighth century. 
The longer I look at the Adaizan vocabulary, the more I am con- 
vinced that this once isolated tribe on the borders of Louisiana and 
Texas, possessing a language alien to all its neighbours, once repre- 
sented a remnant of the Celtic colony. In so small a vocabulary, con- 
sisting in all of sixty-eight words, it is contrary to the doctrine of 
chances to find over ten Berber coincidences, if the vocabularies have 
no vital relation to each other. The Adaizan okhapin, bread, gasing, 
brother, caput, earth, aunack, face, hosing, flesh, ganic, heaven, ahasuck, 
leg, amanie, mother, tolola, mountain, and towat, snow, answer to the 
Berber gofio, ygooma, tamouts, enquddi, aksoume, ginna, ighas, mamma, 
athraar, and edfil. The other comparisons instituted furnish British 
Celtic, Southern California, and Peruvian confirmations of the Celtic 
origin of the Adaize of Lake Macdon, who, in 1805, numbered 40 men, 
the descendants of whom seem to have been absorbed by the Caddoes. 
Yet there are many Adaize words in Caddo proper, in Pawnee, and in 
Ricaree, which it is hard to think the latter borrowed, after reading Dr. 
Sibley’s statement that the Adaize language “‘differs from all others, and 
is so difficult to speak or understand that no nation can speak ten words 
of it.” Of course, this may be a specimen of the exaggeration of an 
uncritical period, but, allowing for this, it still denotes remarkable 
isolation. I have not thought fit to complicate the question of the 
Celtic colony or colonies for the present, with a consideration of the re- 
lations of the Caddoan family, with which the Adaize were most intim- 
ately associated. As Toltecs and Olmecs dwelt together in Mexico, and 
even now thus dwell in Peru, it is natural to think that they bore simi- 
lar relations in North America. Enough has been said to indicate that 
the Welsh Indian is no myth, and to suggest the possibility of raising 
him both in North and in South America to a higher state of Celtic 
culture than at present he has attained.
