Lhotsky's Vocabulary stands more alone. With the Vocabulary of

1803 and Dentrecasteaux's Vocabulary, it has but three (or two)

coincidences:--tongue, _mina_ Lh.; _mene_, Voc. of 1803: water,

_lugana_, Lh.; _lia_, Voc. 1803: drink, _lugana_, Lh.; _laina_, Voc.

1803. With Allan Cunningham's Vocabulary it has fourteen words in

common and three coincident:--nose, _minerana_, Lh.; _meoun_, A. C.:

tongue, _mina_, Lh.; _mim_, A. C.: fire, _lope_, Lh.; _lope_. A.

C.. Brown and Cunningham coincide a little more than Cunningham and

Lhotsky. It is perhaps safe to say, that for the South of Van Diemen's

Land the language, as represented by its vocabularies, is radically one.

_Van Diemen's Land, North._--In Lhotsky's Vocabulary seven words are

marked W, four E, and one S, as being peculiar to the western, eastern

and southern parts of the island. One of the four words marked E is

found in the Port Dalrymple Vocabulary, being the only word common to

the two, _e. g._ wood, _mumanara_, E.; _moumra_, Port Dalrymple. The

coincidence of the North and South is as follows:--
