My historical investigations for some years have particularly borne upon the relations of America to the Old World. They refer to the questions whether the populations and civilisations of the New World are there born and indigenous, or whether they are imported from the other hemisphere, and therefore in no respect distinct.

page 36 note 1 Since this paper was read I have proposed in a paper sent to the British Association in September 1885 a solution of the question of the Picts, which brings the Iberian relations of Britain more prominently forward. Those who have bestowed the most attention on the Picts—Dr. Skene, Professor Rhŷs, and Mr. Grant Allen—have come to the conclusion that they were non-Celtic and non-Aryan. Bedn, the contemporary of the Pictish kings, had informed us that a law of female succession prevailed. Dr. Skene found that of forty-two names about half belonged to the form Talargh, a quarter to Brude, and a quarter to Drust, and that no king succeeded his father. The kingly names are shown by me to be Iberian. If an Iberian dynasty survived for a thousand years of our era, and within about four centuries of the rediscovery of America, a similar survival may have taken place in the New World. Talargh, Talargan, and its various forms I identify in Pictish in the paper for the British Association.

page 38 note 1 The name Tarkondemos, or its local equivalent Dardanus, is found by me in the Hissarlik or Trojan inscriptions, discovered by Dr. Schliemann and read by Professor Gompers, of Vienna, as Tago or Tako in Cypriote characters (see my papers in Athenaum, July 25, &c. 1885, p. 112).
The same interpretations I attach to the only characters discovered by Dr. Schliemann at Mycenæ.
