and the Languages of Australia.

Unfortunately, many common words are left out, so that 

 comparison can only be imperfect. However, I found on 

 examination that it compares directly with a body of 

 languages in Portuguese Africa, being Class XI. of Koelle's 

 Polyglotta Africana, and comprising Muntu, Kiriman, 

 Marawi, Meto, Malatau, and Nyambau, being the languages 

 of Mozambique. The words outside of Class XI. are found 

 in Class X., being Bantu or Kaffir languages of Portuguese, 

 Western, and Central Africa, beingr Conor>, &c. Some words 

 are found in Class IY. which is related to Class X. 



The following list will show this, the Class X. words being 

 thus marked [ ] : —
