J. C. in Lingua Pacasd. It contains the original and an interlinear 

 translation in Latin. I quote the following passage as an example: 



Text in the Pacasa Dialect of the Aymara Language.

AFFINITIES OF SOUTH AND NORTH AMERICAN 

 LANGUAGES. 



The first scientific attempt to show a connection between South 

 and North American languages was that read by Dr. Max Uhle 

 before the Congres des Americanistes at Berlin in 1888, and pub- 

 lished in the Compte Rendu of that association. It was confined to 

 demonstrating a relationship between the Chibcha dialects ot 

 northwestern South America to the Costa Rican dialects, which 

 have been so fruitfully studied by Gabb and Thiel.* 



* I have summarized the evidence in The American Race, pp. 184-186. I do not over- 

 look the Rev. William Ilerzog's article in the Archiv fiir Anthrop., 1884, entitled, " Ueber 

 die Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen der costarieens-ischen Indianer-Spracheu mit denen 

 von Central- und Siid-Amerika ;" but it does not take up the subject in a scientitic Djau- 

 ner, and hence its results are unsatisljiJig.
