On analysing the comparative vocabulary given in the appendix, I find 
that the analogies are much greater as between the Barata terms and Asia 
than as between these and Africa; and of the list of 43 given, 235 analogies, 
or close analogies, are found in the primitive languages of the former, 
particularly in Hindustan, while 97 analogies are found in Africa— princi- 
pally in the Mosambique distriets—but in most cases the analogies are by 
no means so perfect. 
It may be further remarked, that of the 43 Barata terms given in our 
list, all except two are found embedded in the languages of South Asia, 
while 17 of them are not found in any African language. 
Proceeding on our basis then—viz., that the Malagas-malayo-polynesian 
tribes derived their origin from the continent— not the continental tribes 
theirs from the islands—which theory some ethnologists support; it can 
scarcely now be doubted (that is, if the testimony of language have any 
value), that the origin of the Barata race extending over the tropics from 
Madagascar to Easter Island was in Hindustan, where the roots of their 
language are yet found so profusely preserved,
