POLYNESIAN AND MALAYAN. 171 
It will be seen that this figure is not exhaustive. The full record 
should state the figure of the extent to which some Polynesian has 
community with some Malayan. I can answer for practically all Poly- 
nesian. ‘To answer for all Malayan would entail the collation of all the 
languages of the archipelago, a task which would inordinately delay 
other work which I must prosecute. To the figure thus established in 
my own studies I now add the figures which are derived from the studies 
of other workers but which I have not wholly verified. 
In The Polynesian Wanderings the work was conducted upon the 
base of the speech of Efaté in the New Hebrides. Referring to the 
serial number of the items in Appendix I of that volume, I now present 
the following table of Malayan identifications which are extra-Visayan:

The 105 additions to the Polynesian content in this list rest most 
immediately upon Tregear’s ‘‘Maori Comparative Dictionary” and 
Turner’s “Samoa.” 
I next add from Mr. Tregear’s dictionary these 42 items, referring 
to the Maori words. ‘These are the residuum after extracting all 
instances contained in this tabulation and in the synopsis of the Visayan 
in this chapter. Of this residue in Tregear, the 42 are all that I am 
willing to accept, for Mr. Tregear, while equally opposed to the Malayo- 
Polynesian family, goes in his identifications a little beyond what I 
regard as just in philologic method.

The sum of these three groups is 257; that is the tale of words upon 
which, really upon far less than which, Bopp erected his family of the 
Malayo-Polynesian languages. The research which has compiled these 
lists is so great, the study has been so minute on the part of my pains- 
taking predecessors, that it is not to be supposed that further study, 
such as I have conducted de novo upon the Visayan, will add appreciably 
to this figure. JI do not intend to perform the operation under the rule 
of three, not puzzled but inexpressibly weary of this Malayo-Polynesian 
bar which has long blocked the path of philologic research into the begin- 
nings of human speech; but any one who cares may compute the ratio 
of 110 Polynesian words to the 12,000 stems entered in the Visayan 
dictionary of Fray Juan Félix. Then, if he will, he may reckon the
