Barros Arana, Diego 



(a) Los Fueguinos. (In La Lectura, 

 Santiago de Chile, 1884, i, 3-5.) (Ref- 

 erence from Porter, p. 409.) 



(6) Historia jeneral de Chile, 16 vols. , 

 Santiago, 1884-1902. 



Contains (i, 39-48) an account of the Fuegian 

 aborigines based on written sources and dealing 

 almost exclusively with the Yahgans and Alaca- 

 luf. The description of the other Chilean abo- 

 rigines (i, 49-114) gives passim some notes on 

 Chonoan culture. 



Bartels, Max

 Bastian, Philipp Wilhelm Adolf 



Die Culturlander des alten America, 

 3 vols., Berlin, 1878-1889. 



The account in vol. i (pp. 17-18) of the Onas 

 seemingly is based not on personal observation 

 by Prof. Bastian, but on information given him 

 by colonists who came aboard the vessel at 

 Punta Arenas. The data on Fuegian religion 

 (p. 18) have to be used with caution. The author 

 passed through the Strait in 1875.

 Beauregard, OUivier 



Sur les tribus qui habitent la Terre 

 de Feu. (In Bull. Soc. d'anthr. de 

 Paris, 1882, 3d ser. v, 672-674.) 



An unimportant quotation from an article by 

 Capt. Bove in La Nacidn, of Buenos Aires, Sept. 

 22, 1882. Very brief data on the Yahgans, Ala- 

 caluf, and Onas. 



Beauvoir, Jose Maria 



(a) Pequeiio dicciouario del idioma 

 fueguino-ona con su correspondiente 

 castellano, Buenos Aires (1901). 



Contains 1,876 common Ona words, 76 sen- 

 tences and phrases, and a few additional words 

 132 proper names, and the Lord's Prayer in Ona. 

 The vocabulary is preceded by a few remarks on 

 Ona religion and mythology (p. 6) and by a com- 

 parative Yahgan-Alacaluf-Ona vocabulary of 41 

 words (pp. 7-8). Inserts after pp. 4 and 36 

 give accounts of the groups of natives exhibited 

 at Paris in 1889 and at Genoa in 1892. In the 

 comparative vocabulary the Yahgan and most 

 of the Alacaluf words seem to have been taken 

 from Hyades, q, and Fitz-Roy, 6, the remaining 

 Alacalufan words presumably from the Dawson 

 Island natives. Father Beauvoir's earlier Ona 

 dictionary has been superseded by his later one, 

 described below. 



(b) Los Shelknam: Indigenas de la 

 Tierra del Fuego, Buenos Aires, 1915. 



The most important published work on the 

 Ona language. The most valuable parts of the 



Beauvoir, Jose Maria— Continued 



book are the extensive vocabulary of more than 

 4,000 words (Ona-Spanish, pp. 19-70; Spanish- 

 Ona, pp. 109-161) and the large collection of 1,400 

 Ona sentences with their Spanish translation 

 (pp. 79-104). In addition the following linguis- 

 tic material is given: Ona pronunciation and 

 accent (pp. 1-4); a few notes on Ona grammar 

 (pp. 4-9 and passim in "frasario," pp. 79-104); 

 the Lord's Prayer and Angelical Salutation in 

 Ona (p. 77); more than 400 Ona proper names and 

 the meaning of 85 proper names (pp. 163-170); an 

 extensive list of Ona local names (pp. 220-225); 

 211 Haus words (pp. 171-173); an Ona-Tehuelche 

 comparative vocabulary of 110 words (pp. 179- 

 181); Ona-Tehuelche numerals and cardinal 

 points (pp. 195-196); an extensive list of about 

 1,000 Tehuelche words, and 45 phrases and sen- 

 tences (pp. 183-193, 197-198); a comparative Ona- 

 Yahgan-Alacaluf vocabulary of 103 words (pp. 

 15-17). 



The Haus or Manekenkn vocabulary, to judge 

 by Mr. Lucas Bridges' list, would seem to be pure 

 or nearly pure Shelknam. See comment under 

 Cojazzi. The Yahgan and Alacaluf words in the 

 comparative vocabulary on pp. 15-17 are ap- 

 parently taken from Hyades, q. 



Father Beauvoir also gives a l)rief summary of 

 Ona culture (pp. 201-212, 217-220). Many photo- 

 graphs illustrating environment, physical type, 

 and culture. 



Father Beauvoir began his studies among the 

 Onas in 1892, and as a missionary among them 

 from 1893 imtil recently had ample opportunity 

 to gather much information regarding their lan- 

 guage. He had as principal interpreters two 

 Onas, Jose Luis Miguel Kalapacte, who spoke 

 Spanish well, and Jose Tomds Ven Paschol. 

 With the former he was intimately and daily 

 associated for fourteen years. Father Beauvoir 

 also acknowledges his indebtedness to his con- 

 freres of the Salesian missions, particularly to 

 Father Juan Zenone, who has been with the 

 mission Onas, especially the children, since 1894, 

 and who has a fair speaking knowledge of the 

 language. What Father Beauvoir wrote of the 

 Pequefio diccionario would no doubt apply to 

 his larger work as well: "Estas palabras per 

 haberlas oido muehas veces en sus conversaciones 

 familiares, y entendido bien por habermelas 

 hecho explicar por Indios que allegados & noso- 

 tros, comprendian suficientemente nuestro idio- 

 ma, hasta lo hablaban y escrilyan, tengo una 

 seguridad moral de que los vocables contenidos 

 en este Diccionario tienen realmente el signifi- 

 cado que se les da en la lengua Castellana" 

 (a, p. 3).
