5 The more useful grammatical studies of various French Creole types are: for the Mascarene Islands, M. C. Baissac, Étude sur le patois Créole Mauricien (Nancy, 1880); for Guiana, Auguste de St. Quentin, Étude sur la grammaire Créole (in Introd. à l'histoire de Cayenne, Paris, 1872); for Martinique, J. Turiault, Étude sur le créole de la Martinique (Brest, 1874); for Haiti, S. I. Ducoeur-Joly, Manuel des Habitants de St. Dominique (Paris, 1802); for Trinidad, J. J.

12 There is no justification for R. de Poyen-Bellisle's statement (13) that the creole of the Antilles ‘peut seul être considéré comme un pur Dialecte Créole’. Cf. Schuchardt, Surinam 9.

13 So also in the Creole of the Mascarenes, cf. Dietrich, Rom. 20. 223.

14 PMLA. 1. 104.

15 Similarly on > oun in the Mascarenes according to Dietrich 224.

16 The forms sete 'c'était, c'étaient', se ‘c'est, ce sont’ are taken over from standard French in constructions of this sort.
