294 Herbert Mueller, Some Remarks on the Article: “Un ancient docu ment inédit sur les Todas” by P. L. Besse, S. J- By Herbert Mueller, Halensee, Berlin. Dear Sir: The Rev. Father L. Besse, S. J. has published in the last number of y° lir very interesting periodical, for 1907, an old MS. or, more correctly, two MSS- which deal with the singular race of the Todas in the Nilgiri Hills in Souther' 1 India. There are two points in this publication to be corrected and I am su rL you will give me room to do so. 1. Every publication of old MSS. which treat of ethnological matted can be sure to find the best interest and sincere thanks of ethnologists and the more so in the case of the Todas because in the beginning of the lP^ 1 century it was thought that this peculiar tribe was discovered then for the f' rbt time. But — and this is the first point to be mentioned — both MSS. ' lC)U published by the Rev. Father L. Besse have been known to the scientif' c world since 1906. In this year Mr. W. H. R. Rivers, Fellow of St. John s College, Cambridge, published his very fine book “The Todas” (Macmillan)» one of the best ethnological works published in recent years and the besj and most complete investigation which has ever been made of all sides 0 the social life — at least — of a South-Indian tribe. In this preeminent work we find on pp. 719—730 English translations “of two extracts from Portugn^ 0 manuscripts preserved in the British Museum”. These Portuguese MSS., n ie translation of which is by Miss A. de Alberti, have almost the same contend as these now published a second time by the Rev. Father L. Besse, excep a few slight and more formal differences to be explained in the following The Rev. Father L. Besse inentiones that the language only of the fi fS letter is Portuguese and that of the second Latin, whilst Mr. Rivers spe a ^ of both as Portuguese MSS. Father L. Besse dates the second letter from year 1604 whilst it bears the date of the 1st April 1603 in Rivers’ book. T| |C Vice-Provincial of the Jesuits, Father Alb. Laerzio, speaks himself in the in afld publication of Father Besse, and is spoken of as “our Vice-Provincial” Rivers. 1 presume that the reason of these differences is always the same can be explained in the following way: namely, by the circumstances of ^ second writing, mentioned in his preamble. According to the earlier recor which is totally the same in Besse’s as in Rivers’ publication, the first 1,1 formation regarding the Todas had reached Calicut in 1602 and had led j 1 a short visit to the Nilgiris and to the fundation of the mission of Todram a (which is called in Father Besse’s MS. Sodramalla), to which a priest of ^ ]C
