THOMSOJf. — Whence of the Maori. 



XXXI 



it sliould not escape remark that of the 102 words compared, nineteen of these 

 only are Malay, the great majority belonging to the groups of Molucca, Ceram, 

 and Timor, situated at the east end of the archipelago. Hence a glossarial 

 link is clearly proved vid Tongatabu, expressively called in Maori tradition 

 the roro, or gate to Hawaiki, their home country, wherever that had been. 



Maori compared with 102 words in thirty-three languages of the Indian 



Archipelago.*
