to he assured that it was Of an exceed.
ingly primitive type. 1t was construct.
ed upon as fundamentally different a
system from the Aryan tongues as is
the Basque, described in our last paper.
It seems to have been, like tho Basque,
allied to tho great family Of languages
which includes the Lapps, Firms and
Hungarians in modern Europe and the
aborigines Of Asia and America. These
unfortunate silnilarities led to all sorts
of queer theories as to the racial origin
of the people, as wild, many of them,
as those invented for the Basques. 1t
never occurred to any one to differen-
tiate race, language and culture one
from another, distinct as each OF the
trio may be in cur eyes today. If a
philologist found similarity in linguis,

ly jumped to tho conclusion that the
Etruscans were Lapps and Lapland the
primitive seat Of the civilization. Thus
