5. As compared with the Chinese, the Japanese and Korean languages are _not_ monosyllabic. 6. As compared with the Yakut Turk, and the Lamut Tungusian, the Kamskadale and Koriak are not Turanian. 7. What applies to the language of the Peninsular tribes applies to their physical appearance also. All this, however, may be the case without affording the least proof of a true ethnological connection, _i.e._ of a connection in the way of descent and affiliation; since even the similarity of physical appearance, which, making allowance for differences of latitude and civilization, is, from all accounts, very close, may merely be the effect of common climatologic conditions, wholly independent of relationship. To prove this a fresh set of facts is required. Nor are they wanting. 1. The Peninsular languages have a general _glossarial_ connection with each other; the _grammatical_ structure of only one of them (the Japanese) being known. 2. The Peninsular languages have a general glossarial connection with a third class. In the opinion of the present writer the Peninsular languages agree in the general fact of being more closely akin to those of _America_ than any other; and this, of itself, he considers to be a sufficient reason for placing them in a separate division. It also, to a certain extent, removes the evidence of their mutual affinity to another part of the work, _i.e._ that which treats of the origin of the American population; inasmuch as the same tables which connect the American languages with the Peninsular ones, connect these last with each other. In a series of monographs these proofs could have been given separate; in a systematic work, however, it is necessary to economise space by making the same lists prove two points at once. Hence, they will appear in the sequel.
