1 It is to be hoped that wide note will be taken of the opinions expressed frequently at the colloquium concerning the non-entity ‘Hamitic’. A. N. Tucker's attempt to lay the Hamitic ghost (see his paper ‘What's in a name?’) by abandoning the misleading ‘Hamito-Semitic’ is well motivated. Unfortunately the proposed substitute term ‘Erythraic’ is not altogether suitable if one is to give due recognition to the geographical location of Berber and Chadic, and in spite of certain defects one predicts that ‘Afro-Asiatic’ will last a long time.
