[205] Mr. Buckle is almost the only marked exception.  He nowhere recognizes the doctrine of race.

[206] The ox is, in Sanskrit go or gaus, in Latin bos, in Greek [Greek:  bous].

The horse is, in Sanskrit acva, in Zend acpa, in Greek [Greek:  hippos], in Latin equus.

The sheep is, in Sanskrit avis, in Latin ovis, in Greek [Greek:  ois].

The goose is, in Sanskrit hansa, in Latin anser, in Old German kans, in Greek [Greek:  chaen].
