He gives a vocabulary of 105 words and 16 numerals, (of wbicli 
dial is 80, and hazdr 1,000), and 14 short sentences, (obtained from 
a resident of Waigul), all of which is practically included in Sir H. 
Lumsden’s Waiguli collection. 
There is a good deal of difference between his collection of words 
and mine. His grammar, as shown in the sentences, differs from mine. 
He says some of the soft labials cannot be pronounced by an Euro¬ 
pean. He gives 24 Pashai words and 8 Pashai sentences, and remarks 
that the Pashai language is spoken in 8 villages and is very similar 
to the Kafir. There is not much similarity between these Pashtai words 
and the words and sentences of my Bashgali collection. 
Campbell, J.— Lost among the Afghans , 1865. —The writer states 
he lived some time in Kafiristan, but gives no remarks on the language. 
Capus, G.— Vocabulaires de langues pre-pamiriennes . Bulletins de 
la Societe d’ anthropologie de Paris, 1889, p. 203 , etc.— At Chitral a 
vocabulary of 139 Siah-posh Kafir words, 30 numerals and 9 short 
sentences was prepared. These were evidently obtained from the 
language spoken at Loudhe (Luttdeh ?) in the Bashgal valley, and 
agree generally with my collection. According to Capus, 1,000 is eio 
zarr, ewzarrba. 
He gives a second collection of 114 words and 8 short sentences 
taken down at Meshed from a slave of Tzoum. Some of these cor¬ 
respond fairly with my collection: others differ. About half agree with 
the Waiguli of Sir H. Lumsden. In this collection dial is 40; sadd, 
100; hazdr, 1,000 j and gunei, wife.

Vol . 44, pages 424 to 432. —The Greeks did not penetrate into Kafiristan. 
He gives a map of Kafiristan from information by Biddulph and 
^Tanner. 
He notes the days of the week are Agar, day of rest, and the remainder 
# I heard this word more often pronounced posh than pu&£.
