the roots, and separate them from the servile or accessary particles, and 

 can, moreover compare structures as well as vocables, will have no 

 hesitation in affirming the common relationship of all these tongues to 

 the language of Tibet, though the prima facia differences are certainly 

 often remarkable, and viewed collectively, not less instructive with refer-

Appendix I. 

 The vast limitary range of snows to the North of India, has been 

 known in all ages by names derived entirely from Sanscrit, the Greeks 

 and Romans neither coining fresh appellations nor even translating the 

 sense of the Indian ones into their own languages, but adopting almost 

 unaltered the Sanscrit names they found. These are Hemachal, Hema- 

 achal, snowy mountain. Hemadri, Hema-adri, the same. Hemalaya, 

 Hema-alaya, place of snow. Hemodaya, Hema-udaya, source of snow, 

 (as Suryodaya, source of sun or East). From the last term the Greek 

 (Emodus is deduced without alteration. The following tables, showing 

 the relative height of the great Andean and Hemalayan peaks, and the 

 connexion of the latter with the physical geography of Northern India 

 may prove interesting, since no one but myself I believe is in a position 

 to note the connexion of the snowy peaks with the distribution of 

 waters quoad the Eastern half of this magnificent theatre of Nature's 

 vastest display.
