Caris. The name of Carib, aceording to 
Humboldt, who reports finding it for the

dAnghera, is derived from Calina and 
Caripuna, the 7 and p being transferred 
into ry and b. It is very remarkable, he 
says, that this name which Columbus 
heard pronounced by the people of Haiti 
was known to exist at the same time 
among the Carib of the Islands, and 
those of the Continent (AVH, wl, 78).
