The group of Serian names for the color "white" have no phonetic accordances 

 with the collated Yuman terms of like meaning. 



Of the compared groups of Serian and Vuman names for "old" and "young" it 

 may be well to remark that in both some of the terms recorded mean simply " man ", 

 "woman", without regard to age, or "large, great man" (.Seri A, B, D, and Yuman 

 6,9,10,21,23,24. In number 21 ^((fcj signifies simply "woman", regardless of age. 

 Yuman number 8 signifies "one", not "young"). This cursory comment shows 

 how untrustworthy much of this material is. It is evident that there is here no 

 proof of genetic linguistic relationship between the Seri and the Yuman languages.
