  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 
  — 
  j)rinci- 
  

   pally 
  in 
  the 
  Mosambique 
  districts 
  — 
  but 
  in 
  most 
  cases 
  the 
  analogies 
  are 
  by 
  

   no 
  means 
  so 
  x^erfect. 
  

  

  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.
