The people call themselves Carina, Calina, 
Kalinya and Callinago. The French and 
Germans have transformed the name into 
Caraibes (AVH, 1, 335). Calina is what 
the Oyampi (Carib stock) of the Oyapock 
River Cayenne call one another among 
themselves (Cr, 174). It is the Rou- 
couyenne (Carib stock) term for a friend 
(Cr, 89) and is constantly used by them 
to signify their companions; i. e., all 
the individuals of the Indian race (Cr, 
360). Crévaux employed the term to a 
Roucouyenne chief who was preparing to 
shoot an arrow at him, and so made 
friends (Cr, 99). It is also a word 
used by the Carijona (Carib stock) on 
the upper Yapura (Cr, 360). The word 
Carib is frequently applied by the Span- 
ish population to any wild tribe, merely 
in the sense of savage or wild (BRI, 
161). Other spellings are Cariva (G, I), 
Caribe (G, 11, 58), Carive, Charib (Punk, 
1, 513), and Galibi, a Carib stock in 
Cayenne; in its lengthened form we find 
Caribbee (BA, 253), Charibbee (Pnk, 1, 
513), Carabisi (ScO, map), Caribisce 
(HiA, 39), Karabish (StC, 11), ete. 
Arawak may call Carib by the name of 
Bassari and Koréjiki. The meaning of 
the former. is unknown; that of the 
latter is significatory of their character- 
istic red paint. The word Cannibal is 
but a mispronunciation of their proper 
name Karina (BRI, 256).. The Carib 
linguistic stock is one of the most ex- 
tensively distributed in the Southern 
Continent. At the time of the discovery 
of America its dialects were found in the 
Lesser Antilles, the Caribbee Islands, 
and on the mainland (BRI, 251). Santa 
Cruz was the most northerly island 
formerly inhabited by the Carib (DAC, 
444, footnote). Gumilla has recorded 
how it unquestionably appeared to him 
that the Carib transported themselves 
from the Windward Isles to the main- 
land of Paria, Santa Marta, Cabo de 
Vela, Golfe Triste, Berbis [Berbice], 
Corentin, Surinama, to the coast of 
Cayfina [Cayenne], and to the Rio 
Orinoco. All know, he continues, that 
the Windward Isles were called Caribales 
(Diario del Almirante Colon) because 
the Carib formed a large portion of their 
population (G, U, 3822-823). At the 
present time the Carib do not appear to 
occupy any distinet territory, but are to 
be met scattered among the other tribes 
throughout the Guianas. In Schom- 
burgk’s day Carib were to be found in 
the lower reaches of the Mazaruni, 
Cuyuni, and Pomeroon, but only scattered 
and detached on the Corentyn, Rupununi, 
and Guidaru (SR, 11, 427).
