Extract

This is note will not deal with the evidence from glottochronology, which is the subject of Professor Armstrong's paper, nor with the evidence from linguistic borrowings, but with the inferences which may be drawn from the general linguistic configuration of Africa. It consists of a few miscellaneous observations, which are not intended to do more than stimulate interest in this line of inquiry.
