234 : 13 _seq._ Non-Aryan traces in central Europe. Deniker, 2, pp. 317,
334; D’Arbois de Jubainville, 3, pp. 153 _seq._, gives Ligurian place
names. See also 4, t. II. It all depends on whether one considers the
Ligurians as Non-Aryan. D’Arbois de Jubainville is inclined to class
them as Aryans. Burke, _History of Spain_, says, in his footnote to p.
2, that Basque place names are found all over Spain. For survivals in
the British Isles see the notes to pp. 204 : 5 and 204 : 19, and for the
general question, Taylor, _Words and Places_.
234 : 18. Finnic dialects. Zaborowski, 3, pp. 174–175, says there are
very ancient traces of Germanic elements in the Finnic languages of the
Baltic. Prior to the fourth century they had a Gothic character.
234 : 24 _seq._ Agglutinative language. See the note to p. 242 : 5. For
the physical characters of the Basques, Collignon, 3, p. 13; and Ripley,
pp. 190 _seq._, who bases himself upon Collignon. On the language see
Pruner-Bey, 1; Feist, 5, pp. 362–363, and Ripley, pp. 20, 183–185. There
are of course other writers on the Basque language. As a result of the
epoch-making study of Keltic by Professor J. Morris Jones, of the
University College, Bangor, Wales, which appears as Appendix B, in Rhys
and Jones, _The Welsh People_, pp. 616–641, the assertion is made that
Basque is apparently allied to Berber, and that other problems hitherto
unsolved may be unravelled. It has not been possible to learn if any
very recent progress has been the result of this new method.
235 : 1 _seq._ Pseudo-brachycephaly of the Basques. A. C. Haddon,
correspondence, says: “The Basque skull is long, but with a broadening
in the temporal region, in the French Basques, which forms a spurious
kind of brachycephaly.”
235 : 11. See the notes above, to p. 234 : 24.
