0. The Ibo languages. 



£. The Nufee languages. 



^. The Yorruba languages. To some parts of this group belong almost all the 

 fragmentary vocabularies for the coast between the Sherbro and Gaboon rivers, under 

 the various and often-confused names of 

 Adampi, Tambi, Tembu, 

 Akkim, Akripon, 



The Gold-coast vocabulary of Artus, 

 The Asianten of the Mithridates (Ashantee), 

 The Crepee of the Mithridates, 

 The Adah of the Mithridates, 

 The Ockwa and Wawu, 

 The Kassenti, 



The Kanga, Mangree, and Gien, 



The Dagwhumba, Kumsalahoo, Mosee, Hio, Yngwa, Badagry, Kerrapay, Em- 

 poongwa (Gaboon), Oonjobai, Oongormo, Kaylee and Shekan, numerals of 

 Bowdich, 

 The few Malemba words of Bowdich, 

 The Kakundy or Shabbe of Laird and Oldfield, 

 The Mokko and Karabari, 

 The Calbra and Caman9ons of the Mithridates. 

 The following languages, along with a few others known through fragmentary voca- 

 bularies, it is considered advisable, for different reasons, to leave at present unplaced : — 



1. The Agow. 



2. The Tibboo (probably Nubian). 



3. The Bisharye, Adareb and Suaken. 



4. The SerawooUi. 



5. The Sereres. 



6. The Akwambu. 



7. The Croo. 



On the Eastern Limits of the Australian Race and Language. 

 By R. G. Latham, M.D. 

 We are in possession of three vocabularies from the neighbourhood of the island 

 of Timor, which differ materially from the Malay tongues around them : upon this 

 account they have hitherto remained unplaced. It is believed that they are Austra- 

 lian, a fact which breaks down the accredited isolation of that race. 



1. Ombay. — In Freycinet's 'Voyage' the natives of Ombay are described as having 

 olive-black complexions, flattened noses, thick lips, and long black hair. In Artigo 

 we find about fifty words of their language ; of these four are more or less Malay, 

 whilst another group coincides with the languages of Australia and Van Diemen's 

 Land, dealt with as ethnographically one. 



2. Tembora. — From the Tembora district in the island Sumbawa we have a short 

 vocabulary by Sir Stamford Raffles, together with a statement, in a subsequent letter 

 to Marsden, that in the island in question the woolly-haired race was numerous. 

 Without being wholly different from the Malay, it is so distinct that even its nume» 

 rals are peculiar to itself. Out of thirty-four words three or four seem to be Austra- 

 lian. 



3. Mangarei. — In a savage part of the island of Ende or Floris we have a short 

 vocabulary' of thirty-two words by Marsden. It is more Malay and less Australian 

 than either of the above tongues. 



On the Ethnographical Position of certain Tribes of the Garrow Hills. 

 By R. G. Latham, M.D. 



In the ' Asiatic Researches ' an account is given of a tribe inhabiting the Garrow 

 hills to the north of Hindostan, whose colour and physical conformation approach 

 the type of the negro. In the ' Asia Polyglotta ' of Klaproth their language stands 

 unplaced. The affinities of the language in question are not with the Negrito tribes 

 of the islands, but with the continental language of Bootan, akin to the Tibetian. 

 Hence, according to the evidence of language, the place of the Garrow tribes is with 

 the Tibetian race.
