[3] This gloss in some MSS. is filled up thus:—

Σάροι. μέτρον καὶ ἀριθμος παρὰ Χαλδαίοις. ὁι γὰρ ρκ´ σάροι ποιοῦσιν ἐνιαυτοὺς βσκβ´, κατὰ τὴν τῶν Χαλδαίων ψῆφον, εἴπερ ὁ σάρος ποιεῖ μῆνας σεληνιακῶν σκβ´, ὁὶ γίνονται ιε´ ἐνιαυτοὶ καὶ μῆνες ἥξ.

[4] In the course of the evening it was stated, that even by writers quoted by Syncellus ἔτος had been translated day; and a reference was made to an article in the Cambridge Philological Museum On the Days of the Week, for the opinion of Bailly in modern, and of Annianus and Panodorus in ancient times: ταῦτα ἔτη ἡμέρας ἐλογίσαντο στοχαστικῶς.—p. 40, vol. i. See also p. 42.

[5] From Taal. Mag. iii. 4. 500. In the 86th number of the Quarterly Review we find extracts from a New Testament for the use of the Negroes of Guiana, in the Talkee-takee dialect. In this there is a large infusion of Dutch, although the basis of the language is English.

[6] The term Turk is used in its wide Ethnological sense, and includes the Scythæ.

[8] This means in three dialects.

[9] Or dachi.

[27] Given to Mr. Macgillivray by Mr. James Macarthur, and prefixed to the MS. Port Essington Vocabulary, alluded to at p. 157 of Vol. I.

[28] These are three different dialects.

[29] Or Erronan. The Nuia or Immer numerals are the same.

[30] This is inaccurate—See following papers.

[31] Since this statement was read, the author has been enabled, through the means of a Cumanche vocabulary, with which he was favoured by Mr Bollaert, to determine that these two languages are allied. (This was written in 1845. Since, then, the evidence that the Shoshoni and Cumanch belong to the same family has become conclusive.)

[32] The evidence of this being the case has since become conclusive.—1859.

[33] The Umqua has since been shewn to be the Athabaskan—1859.

[41] This conveys an inadequate notion. Buschmann has thrown the Cora and Tarahumara (connected by Adelung) into the same class with the Tepeguana and Yaque, represented by the Cahia.—See Note (1859).

[42] For a notice of Matlacinga see Ludwig: who mentions an Arte and Dictionary. I have seen no specimens of it. (1859).
