the organism with, which it is associated, and as little, that we have, through Psychology, legitimate philosophical access to this fundamental truth. My remarks have been directed against the suggestion, that we ourselves, as self-conscious substances or agents, are the source of the physical phenomena associated with the exercise of our thinking powers; and against the doctrine which it is sought to found upon that suggestion; and I have purposely avoided, as far as possible, the collateral topics of controversy which are opened by the paper under review.

Art. XIX.—Pronouns and other Barat Fossil Words compared with Primeval and Non-Aryan Languages of Hindostan and Borders. By J. Turnbull Thomson, F.R.G.S., F.R.S.S.A., etc. [Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 23rd August, 1879.] The following comparisons may be taken as supplementary to my last paper.* Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, and printed in Vol. XI., Trans. N.Z. Inst., p. 157. In that paper I confined myself principally to nouns expressive of roots of the several dialects or languages. In this one I have scrutinized the analogies of the pronouns, and some of the adverbs, also of a few nouns and verbs, which had previously escaped my attention. I must here again acknowledge my great obligations to the Hodgson lists, published by Dr. W. W. Hunter.† The works from which I have sought assistance in this paper are:—Comparative Dictionary of the Languages of India and High Asia, by W. W. Hunter, B.A., etc.; Marsden's Malayan Dictionary; Language and Literature of Madagascar, by Rev. Julius Kessler; Dictionary of New Zealand Language, by W. Williams, D.C.L.; Samoan Dictionary, by Rev. George Pratt; Hawaiian Dictionary, by Lorrin Andrews. My plan in this enquiry has been to bring the principal east and west Barata tribes in juxtaposition, and then to compare their fossil words with those of the old tribes of Hindostan and borders, as follows:— English. Malagasi. Malay. Samoan. Maori. Hawaiian. I izaho aho aku ku o a'u au ahau an wan owan Primeval and Non-Aryan Languages of Hindostan and Borders.
