291 with its mysterious river, not far from various mines, and particularly that of quicksilver, about Idria. Having been checked in a western progress, perhaps by the still remaining salt marshes, already inter- spersed with barren sea sands, in North Western Asia, the Scythie Finns accumulated and grew to nations of variously mixed character, not unlike those already noticed in South Western Asia and Egypt; but it was ages later before they developed, and pushed on by Lake Ladoga to the Balti...c. Here, propelling the true Hyperboreans, they became Finn-laps, and next, the earlier Scandinavian inhabitants, at the same time that they formed also the Esthonian, Biarmian, Prussian, and other maritime people. On all these coasts, a certain affi- nity with, or pressure by new hordes of colonists possess- ed of Gomerian blood, or at least of Celto-Scythic tradi- tions and practices, is indicated. It forms the Celtic element in their composition; and from this source they acquired, together with a portion of their dialects, those habits of forming circles of stones and cromlechs, which are still abundant in Norway, in some parts of North Western Germany, and Friesland.
