The Jews were immensely numerous in Egypt during the Ptolemaic and Roman epochs. _Vide_ Josephus, Book XII., chap. ii—Sharpe, Egypt under the Romans, p. 13. Footnote 74: Letter to the Chev. Bunsen. See Wiseman’s Lectures on Science and Revealed Religion, 2d edit., p. 62; and a note at the end of that most learned and instructive work, “on the conformity between the Semitic and the Indo-European grammatical forms.” Footnote 75: “Toutes leurs formes sout anguleuses,” says Denon; “leur barbe courte et à mèches pointues.” Voyage en Egypte, I., p. 92.

Footnote 79: I have stated, in my “Crania Americana,” that the Hindoos appear to have the smallest heads of any existing people; and that in the Inca Peruvians the brain was but a fraction larger. Later observations, however, have led me to believe that the _Nigritos_, or aboriginal Negro race of the Indian archipelago, present a nearly parallel example. Footnote 80: Rosellini, M. S. H.

I., C. 2. “Khem, of whom Osiris is a form, is the great deity corresponding to the Indian Siva; Phthah, of whom Horus is another form, is the Indian Brahma; and Kneph is the counterpart of Vishnu.” Cory, in Harapollo, Pref., p. x. Footnote 84: Trans. Roy. Soc. of Literature, I., p. 173. (London.) Footnote 85: Prichard, Researches, Vol. II., p. 218. Footnote 86: Ancient African Nations.—That the Indo-European race (of which the Hindoos are a branch,) has been among the most enterprising and widely distributed nations of the earth, is incontestably proved by the prevalence of the Sanscrit tongue as an element of many languages from Hindostan westward to the shores of Iceland, and eastward to the Polynesian Isles.—Malte Brun, Geography, Vol. I., p. 660. Footnote 87: It is curious to observe that although the Hindoos in our day have little intercourse with Nubia and the adjacent provinces, the circumstance is owing to a want of those incentives to commerce which existed in antiquity; but Burckhardt describes the remains of Indian traffic as now seen in Mecca and Djidda, in Arabia, where the Hindoos yet sell the manufactures and other productions of their own country.—Travels in Arabia, p. 14, 119.
