224 : 3. Wu-Suns and Hiung-Nu. Minns, _Scythians and Greeks_, p. 121.
DeLapouge, _L’Aryen_, mentions the existence of a number of central
Asiatic tribes in addition to the Wu-Suns, who were Nordic. See also J.
Klaproth, _Tableaux historiques de l’Asie_. Zaborowski, _Les peuples
aryens_, p. 286, says: “The Hiung-Nu hurled themselves upon the Illi,
and upon another blond people the Wu-Suns, whose importance was such
that the Chinese, who have made them known to us, sought their alliance
against the Huns. The Chinese knew then, in Turkestan, only the Wu-Suns,
the Sse, or Sacæ, and the Ta-hia (our Tadjiks).”
“The Yuë-Tchi, repulsed by the Wu-Suns in 130 B. C., hurled themselves
upon Bactria” (see the notes to p. 119 : 13). “The Sacæ were then
masters of it and their dispossession resulted in pressing them in part
into India where they founded a kingdom and also in part into the
Pro-Pamirian valleys, especially that of the Oxus. The Yuë-Tchi ruled
over central Asia until 425 A. D. They were dispossessed in their turn
by the Hoas, or Ephtalite Huns” (White Huns).
The remainder of the chapter, pp. 287–291 is concerned with Turkestan,
the Wu-Suns, Huns, Kirghizes, etc.
224 : 13. Deniker, 2, pp. 59 and 371, says the Ainus are dolichocephalic
and have in addition other Nordic traits. See also Haddon, 1, pp. 8,
15–16, 49–50, Ratzel and others. The Ainus are, according to Darwin,
_Descent of Man_, p. 852, the hairiest people in the world.
224 : 19. See the notes to pp. 31: 16–32 : 4.
224 : 28. Deniker, 2, pp. 59 and 371; Haddon, 1, pp. 8, 15.
