obtain his wish." Mr Knortz does not, however, refer to Captain Bourke's "Scatalogic Rites" on the saliva question.

The author relates that the cider-loving Pennsylvania Dutch of Cambria county, Pennsylvania, designate tomatoes as " Metholists" because they both like a great deal of water.

The rhymes in the appendix are from New York and Indiana and include a few vulgar, several political (of recent origin), and a number of senseless squibs, most of which do not deserve perpetuation in printers' ink. The author believes the rhymes are printed for the first time, but he is evidently unacquainted with Bolton's "Counting-out Rhymes of Children" (London, 1888), in which many of them are found. He makes no attempt to trace their origin nor to classify them. The appendix, in short, is disappointing, concluding, as it does, a rather desultory writing on folklore. H. CARRINGTON BOLTON.

NOTES AND NEWS

ZAPOTEC LANGUAGE.-A Spanish-Zapotec dictionary of some 222 folio pages has been published by the Junta Columbina of Mexico. The Junta obtained the manuscript from President Diaz, who transferred it to this scientific body for publication. It is estimated that the work contains about ten thousand Spanish terms, in double columns, while the Zapotec vocables are more numerous. A dictionary containing the same Zapotec terms first, followed by the Spanish, has not yet been brought to light. The original manuscript of the Spanish-Zapotec, which dates from about the middle of the eighteenth century, is a huge quarto volume, bound in parchment, and, like the printed work, is in double-column form. It has neither title nor preface, and there is nothing in it to indicate the author's name, though on its back appears "Diccionario sapoteco del Balle." It is evidently a clean copy of an earlier manuscript. The orthography of the Spanish terms is by no means a model of correctness. The dialect differs not inconsiderably from that of Cordoba's vocabulary. The full title is "Vocabulario Castellano-Zapoteco. Publicado por la Junta Columbina de Mexico con motivo de la celebracion del Cuarto Centenario del Descubrimiento de America. Mexico: Oficina Tipografica de la Secretaría de Fomento, 1893."

The Zapotec Indians, who speak this language in several forms of dialect, occupy a large portion of the state of Oajaca, southern Mexico. They number some 260,000, about as many Indians as there are within the limits of the United States. They are an intellectual and peaceable nation, but in ancient times were warlike in character. The ruins of Mitla and other remains of monumental splendor are within their domain.

SOUTHERN EXTENSION OF PREHISTORIC TUSAYAN.-One collection of Tusayan gentes called the Water-house people claim that their ancestors came from a country far to the south of the present Hopi pueblos. The old men have legends that the home of their ancestors was in southern Arizona, and claim that their ancient migration from the ancestral dwelling-place was through some of the passes in the mountains which separate the sources of the tributaries of the Gila and the Little Colorado. They distinctively say that one of their halting places in this northward migration to their present home was near Winslow, Arizona, where they tarried several generations and built large pueblos. To one of these they give the name Homolobi, and point out as its ruins a series of mounds about a half mile from the abandoned Mormon town Sunset, on the right bank of the Little Colorado, three miles north of Winslow.

So circumstantial are the Hopi legends bearing on this point that Dr J. Walter Fewkes, of the Bureau of American Ethnology, assisted by DrWalter Hough, began in June of the present year an extensive excavation of the ruin of Homolobi to collect archeological data bearing on the legend. This work is still in progress, but the results thus far corroborate the claims of the Hopi traditionists, leaving no doubt that some of the ancestors of the present Hopi formerly lived near Winslow, 80 miles south of Walpi. A rich collection of ancient objects, numbering over six hundred specimens, has already been taken from the mounds of Homolobi. These are distinctly Hopi in their character and consist in part of beautiful ceramic objects adorned with symbols identical with those of Sikyatki and Awatobi, two of the best known prehistoric ruins near the Hopi villages. The collections already gathered are on their way to the Smithsonian Institution.

ARGHGINES OF JAPAN Ever since we have posted any definite knowledge of Japan the country has been occupied by two aboriginal races the Aino or Ainu, in the northern part of the islands, the other, difficult to define, in the south. When the outliest mikado, who is a somi mythic personage, ruled in Japan he resided in Kin shin, the southernmost of the Japanesn islands, and the enemies of his people are called Nauyadne Hitzo or "Long legs," and Juso Ankorn or the "Eight wild tribes," The southern race, over which this mikado was ruling, was probably identical with the people settled on Mhantong and Mhing King, who are of small stature, dark complexioned, and ugly By the characteristics they are readily distinguished from the Chiness and Mandahu people,

The founder of the Japane dynasty, Jimma Temnos, came, like the first conquerors of Japan, from an unknown country. To throw light on this subject Dr Edkins has compared the Japanen numeals with those of the languages spoken in other parts of Agin. Many numerals and other terms are like thon of the upper Amur; others resemble those in use between Tibet and the upper Loum river, as well as some Magyar terms, which would bring the Japanese language nearer the Ural Altaic stock. A migration from the Hiberian plains to Japan could have occurred only in connection with the great wave or flood of the Humnic nations, which was moving in the direction toward Pekin and ended about 200 B. C. These northern barbarians, called Tanjen in enstern Chinn, held at that time Manchuria and all of northern Chin Tangun, founder of the Korean state, sprung from one of the Tangen tribes and became prominent about 400 BC, but in the outliest periods Koren was intimated stor intel with Japan and often had its rulers in common with those of that country. Koran civilization, derived from Chim, was in the fourth century A. D. introduced into the Japanes
