Note 1 — Source and Migration of the Polynesian Race.

If I were permitted to indicate the route of the Polynesian family, after it separated from its Aryan cousins in the highlands of middle Asia, I would say that it descended into Hindostan; that in course of time it was followed by the Tamul family from the northeast who drove the former out of India and were in their turn driven into the lower part of the Peninsula by the now Sanskrit speaking Aryans. When driven out of the Peninsula the Indian Ocean received the wanderers. Of the transit through India, and of the length of the sojourn there, no record or trace exists, unless the Polynesian goddess Hina,1 or Sina, as it is pronounced in some dialects, bear some relation to the land of Hind or Sind, as it was called by the Sanskrit and Zend speaking peoples.
