Ireland, the New Hebrides, Tanna, Erromango, Annatom, 

 New Caledonia, &c. 



IV. The Blacks of Australia. 



V. The Tasmanian Blacks, or the Blacks of Van 

 Diemen's Land. 



I. The Andaman Blacks will not be considered in the 

 present note. 



II. With respect to the languages of the Blacks of the 

 Malay area, it may be stated unequivocally^ that the dialects 

 of each and every tribe for which a vocabulary has been 

 examined, are Malay. 



A. Such is the case with the Samang, Jooroo, and 

 Jokong vocabularies of the Peninsula of Malacca. — See 

 " Craufurd's Indian Archipelago/' "Asiatic Researches," 

 xii. 109, " Newbold's British Settlements in Malacca." 



B. Such is the case with every vocabulary that has been 

 brought from Sumatra. The particular tribe sufficiently 

 different from the Malay to speak a different language has 

 yet to be found. 



C. Such is the case with the eight vocabularies fur- 

 nished by Mr. Brooke from Borneo ; notwithstanding the 

 fact that both the Dyacks and the Biajuks have been 

 described as tribes wilder and more degraded than the 

 Malay : in other words, as tribes on the Negro side of the 

 dominant population. 



D. Such is the case with every vocabulary brought from 

 any of the Molucca, Key, Arru, or Timorian Islands 

 whatsoever ; no matter how dark may be the complexion, or 

 how abnormal the hair, of the natives who have supplied it. 



E. Such is the case with the so-called Arafura vo- 

 cabularies of Dumont Durville from Celebes,, and of Roorda 

 van Eysengen from Amboyna and Ceram. 



F. Such is the case with the languages of the Philippine
