Note 3 — INTRODUCTION

Keane, Man, Past and Present, 268, 314-315. Holdich (in Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., ii. 749 b) says, “As ethnographical inquiry advances the Turk appears to recede from his Mongolian affinities and to approach the Caucasian.” Keene (Turks in India, 1 ff.) is inclined to consider the Turks a mere mixture of Mongols with Caucasians. So bald a theory does not account for the group of Turkish languages.
