THomson—On Pronouns and other Barat Fossil Words. 228 
the organism with which it is associated, and as little, that we have, 
through Psychology, legitimate philosophieal aecess to this fundamental 
truth. My remarks have been directed against the suggestion, that we our- 
selves, as self-conscious substances or agents, are the source of the physical 
phenomena associated with the exercise of our thinking powers; and 
against the doctrine which it is sought to found upon that suggestion ; and 
I have purposely avoided, as far as possible, the collateral topies of contro- 
versy which are opened by the paper under review. 
Arr. XIX.— Pronouns and other Barat Fossil Words compared with Primeval 
and Non-Aryan Languages of Hindostan and Borders. By J. TURNBULL 
Tomson, F.R.G.S., F.R.S.8.A., ete. 
[Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 23rd Auyust, 1879.) 
Tue following comparisons may be taken as supplementary to my last 
paper.* In that paper I confined myself principally to nouns expressive of 
roots of the several dialects or languages. In this one I have scrutinized 
the analogies of the pronouns, and some of the adverbs, also of a few 
nouns and verbs, which had previously escaped my attention. I must here 
again acknowledge my great obligations to the Hodgson lists, published by 
Dr. W. W. Hunter.+ 
My plan in this enquiry has been to bring the principal east and west 
Barata tribes in juxtaposition, and then to compare their fossil words with 
those of the old tribes of Hindostan and borders, as follows :—
