The President, in inviting discussion on the three last papers 

 read, pointed out that there are great many differences between 

 several of the same terms noted in Mr. Poepstorff's list, and 

 that published by Col. T i ck e 1 1 in the Society's Journal for 1864. 

 If all the transliterations be correct, they certainly would indicate, 

 he thought, considerable differences between the various dialects. 



Mr. Ball observed that from the short account that was read, it 

 would appear that Dr. D a y is inclined to consider the Andamanese 

 as a mongrel race, which is certainly in opposition to all the obser- 

 vations made by other naturalists, and seems inconsistent with the 

 facts. 



Dr. Stoliczka said that the statement made in Dr. Day's 

 paper does not necessarily imply a generalisation of the term mixed 

 race. Dr. Day stated to him that some of the people with smooth 

 hair uncommonly resemble Madrasese. Dr. M o u a t relates an 

 instance of a Punjabi having been married to an Andamanese 

 woman, and from other facts recorded there would seem little doubt 

 that an intermixture of the races has, as elsewhere, occasionally 

 taken place.
