THE HUMAN SPECIES. 341 



lion of the sun, likewise connected with the Pandoo mythus, 

 have a historical basis, approximating, though probably still 

 earlier than 1350 years before 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 

 Trimurihi,* one not unknown to the Celtae of western Europe, 

 but where it succeeded the Helio-Arkite doctrines, or combined 

 with them, as was also the case in India, where Vishnou is the 

 Arkite savior, 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 

 Suleimanic range, west of the Indus, in Hindu Koh. It was, 

 n 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 peninsula 

 appears certainly to be more remote than four centuries B. C, 

 and precedes even the ten assigned to it by the great authority 

 of Professor Wilson; for, in that case, the Gomerian Celtoe of 

 the west would have reached their destination long before the 

 arrival of their kindred in the south ; a region so much nearer 

 to the common point of departure. Were either of the above 

 admitted, it would subvert the natural connection evidently 

 existing between the east and west, and leave the source of a 

 f ideas, opinions, and usages, common to them, totally 

 inexplicable. They extend even to Abyssinia, where the death- 

 wail, and many other usages, are similar to the Irish, and both 

 are unquestionably derived from the far east. If the westward 

 migration of these Hindoo Ethiop tribes were traced to its 

 origin, we might refer one of them as a likely consequence of 



Tripasson, Trivelorc, to Trivalere, on the north of Madras, all in the 

 Camatic, and Trincomallee, Tricoville, Tiriach, &c., in Ceylon. 



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

 even Taregatanga of the Peruvians.
