THE HUMAN SPECIES. 345 



designaton of the sun, likewise connected with the 

 Pandoo mythus, have an historical basis, approximat- 

 ing, though probably still earlier than 1350 years be- 

 fore our era, it marks the period of the Helio-Arkite 

 superaddition to the most ancient northern Caucasian 

 system of a trinal supreme godhead, the Indian Tri- 

 murthi,* one not unknown to the Celtae of western 

 Europe, but where it succeeded the Helio-Arkite doc- 

 trines, or combined with them, as was also the case in 

 India, where Vishnou is the Arkite saviour, and belongs 

 to a mythus more appropriately ascribed to Gomerian 

 Pandoos, than to any other race east of the Indus. To 

 them also may belong the Gomerian practice of wives 

 becoming common to a whole family of males, such 

 as still obtains in the mountain parts of the peninsula, 

 in the Suleimanie range, west of the Indus, in Hindu 

 Koh. It was, in a more refined form, a dogma of the 

 Hebrews, was not unknown to the Britons, and put in 

 practice by the Pandoos. 



In this view, the Pandoo invasion of the lower pen- 

 insula appears certainly to be more remote than four 



in the mystical language of the initiated. We name here 

 a few localities, bearing the prefix ter, tre, tir; Travan-, 

 core State, Terepuney, Teruwalla, Trivandrum, on the 

 west coast ; Trichindoor, Tirun, Tiripauramun, Teroomun- 

 galum, Teruchooly, Terumboor, Tripatoor, Teruvunpette, 

 Trinchinopoly, Tiruvalur, Tranquebar, Trmchingode, Tir- 

 coiloor, Triomalle, Tirovady, Tripasson, Trivelore, to Tri- 

 valore, on the north of Madras, all in the Carnatic, and 

 Trincomallee, Tricoville, Tirrach, &c., in Ceylon. 



* The same as Triemathur, on the north, Pendoran of 

 the British, and even Taregatanga of the Peruvians.
