“I again find this name (p. 44) under the form of _Djatt_ and _Djatty_ in a fifth account of the same matter by the Persian Mirkhond (fifteenth century); and, after having remarked that the same name is given by the Kamûz under the form _Zotth_ as the Arabian equivalent of _Djatt_, an Indian race, and that, according to Ellious Bocthor, it serves precisely, under the form _Zott_, to designate the Gipsies at Damascus, I start from thence to gather from the important _Mémoire, etc., sur l’Inde_, by M. Reinaud, a few data upon the history of the _Zath_ or _Djatt_ of India, and to establish, pp. 45-48, the probable identity of this race and the Gipsies. I repeat that this is precisely the essential object of my ‘Additional Note.’ “I am not an Orientalist, and besides, as I have not failed to mention, this note of ten large pages was written when my memoir was already in the press. But I had the kind assistance of the learned and lamented M. Reinaud, to whose memory I am glad here to render my tribute of gratitude. “Also, the eminent scholar of Leipzig, the same who had first opened the way for discovering the connexion between the Gipsies and the Djatt, Professor Fleischer, in a general account embracing the scientific publications of three years (the same _Zeitschrift_, Vol IV., 1850, p. 452), has not disdained to mention my work in these terms: “Bataillard, the author, etc., taking up the supplement to Pott, published in our journal, III., pp. 321-335, has, with the aid of Reinaud, shown the great probability of the opinion that the Zigeuner descend from the _G’at_ or _G’et_, the most ancient inhabitants of the north-west of India; and might not the name _Zigeuner_, _Zingani_, _Zingari_, [Greek: Τζιγγανοι: Tzinganoi], etc., by the intermedium of the form _Gitanos_, be derived from the name of this people? “This last supposition of Professor Fleischer’s does not appear to me admissible, for there is no doubt that _Gitanos_ is derived from _Egipcianos_, as _Gipsies_ is from _Egyptians_. “I come at last to Professor Pott’s article ‘Last Contributions towards the Knowledge of the Gipsies and their Language,’ in the same _Zeitschrift_ of 1853 (Vol. VII., pp. 389-399), mentioned in the _Academy_, quoting Professor de Goeje, as the starting-point for the identification of the Gipsy and the Jat. What do we find there upon this subject? The following lines (p. 393):
