BKINTON — LINGUISTIC CARTOGRAPHY. 



[Oct. 7, 



Moreover, when in 1580 the Spaniards routed the Querandies, 

 they fled not to the Guaycurus, but to the Ranqueles, whom they 

 must have regarded as their kinsmen. The Ranqueles, however, 

 are of Aucanian lineage and language. 



I believe, therefore, that I was right in The American Race 

 (p. 323) in placing the Querandies in the Aucanian stock, an 

 opinion strengthened by the arguments of Burmeister from historic 

 a.nd archaeologic grounds.^ 



The Payaguas. 



In my American Race I have counted this as one of the irreduci- 

 ble stocks of the Chaco, represented by the following tribes : 

 Agaces, on the Rio Paraguay. 

 Payaguas, near Santa Fe. 

 SarigueSy on middle Paraguay." 



Sr. Lafone Quevedo maintains that the Payagua is of the same 

 stock as the Mocovi and Abipon, /'. <?., the Guaycuru (xi, p. xliii). 

 He bases this on a resemblance which he claims in the pronouns. 



Von Martins denies that there was ever any specific tribe so 

 called. The name, he thinks, is from the Tupi, paracudhygoata, 

 *' a, swimmer of the Paraguay."^ But I believe it is simply the 

 word given by Ruiz y Montoy a, paraguaiguara, " the people of the 

 Paraguay."^ 



That some so called did belong to the Guaycuru stem will be 

 evident from a study of the following comparisons :

* Vocabulario de la Lengtca Guarani, sub voce Paragua. On Arrowsmith's 

 map (1810), the Payaguas are located on the left bank of the Rio Paraguay at 

 the entrance of the Rio Pilcomayo; but I have found the locations of tribes on 

 that map of small value.
