SANSKRIT AND WELSH (11 S. v. 509).
The list of Indo-Germanic languages may
be found in any elementary book on ety-
mology, such as my ' Primer of English
Etymology ' (chap. vii.). All of these are
cognate, and the relationship of Welsh to
Sanskrit is of the same nature as its relation-
ship to the other languages, such as English,
Latin, Greek, Slavonic, &c. As for examples,
there are several already given in my ' Con-
cise Dictionary,' under such leading words
as are common to many languages. See,
for instances, the articles on be, bear (1),
bottom, brother, cow (1), door, eight, five,
four, full, &c. Perhaps I may mention that
I have a book in the press that considers
this very question. But the standard book
on this subject is ' Lectures on Welsh
Philology,' by Sir John Rhys.

Compare, for instance, Sansk. dvdra with
Welsh drws = Irish dorus = Greek 6rpa =
Engl. door ; Sansk. indh with Welsh ennyn
(to kindle a fire) ; Sansk. ukshan with Welsh
?/e/i=EngL ox ; Sansk. satd-m with Welsh
cant = Old Ir. ce = Lat. cen/wm = Engl. hun-
dred ; Sansk. veda (I know) with Welsh
wydd (sight) Greek oti8a = Lat. video, &c.

Philology,' 1877, pp. 8 sqq., as well as Al.
Macbain's ' Comparative Gaelic-Celtic Dic-
tionary,' Inverness, 1896). H. K.
BULLOCK'S MUSEUM, PICCADILLY (11 S. v. 410, 514). A few slight inaccuracies occur in the published replies to this query. Bullock did not form his museum at Liver- pool " as the result of thirty years' travel in Central America." Not any of his expeditions occupied more than a few months, and most of the rarities and specimens shown were purchased from sailors who had dealings with him when he was in business as a jeweller. He only claimed to have collected the objects of interest " during twenty years of unwearied application, and at an expense of thirty thousand pounds'* ('Companion to the London Museum,' iv.). The name " Liver- pool Museum " was used for a very short period on its re -establishment at 22, Picca- dilly. Some years before and after its removal to what was later the Egyptian Hall, he named it " The London Museum and Pantherion," and his new hall was known as the Egyptian Temple.
It is worth noting that Sir Richard Phillips omitted all reference to Bullock's London Museum in the issues of ' The Picture of London ' for several years after its establishment. This intentional slight probably reflects some literary quarrel ; the publisher was a good hater.
ALECK ABRAHAMS,
"MOOLVEE" (US. vi. 9). The radical nouns " molla " and " mewla " in Turkish are explained by " Gesetzkundiger " (lawyer) or " Stadtrichter " (judge). Cf. 'Turkisch- deutsches Worterbuch,' von Camilla Ruzicka- Ostoic,' Wien, 1879, p. 566. Are we mistaken in identifying these two Turkish words as borrowed or derived from the Arabic noun mauld i.e., a learned man or saintly minister among the Persian and Turkish Muslims or Moslems professing Islam? Cf. also Juge = (l) mevla, (2) vulg. molla, in Bianchi's ' Vocabulaire Fran<jais- Turc'( Paris, 1831). H. KREBS.
