496 APPENDIX. 
This arrangement of casts in the rehgion of Boudhou, is one of 
its strong features of resemblance to that of Brahma, which denotes 
their being derived from one common origin. 
In the distinctions of professions here given, it is evident that 
some are rather classes than casts, according to the Gentoo accept- 
ation of the word ; but as they are all called casts in the original 
authors from whence this account is taken, I have not ventured to 
change the denomination.
