Becerra, W. 



En la Tien-a del Fuego: Esploracion 

 al pais de los Onas: La bahia Inutil. 

 (In Revista de marina, Valparaiso, 1898, 

 XXV, 1706-1724, 1728 ff.) 



The first section contains nothing of value to 

 the anthropologist; but the second, to which I 

 had not access, gives an account of the natives 

 and "un estenso vocabulario" (Anrique, p. 449). 



Beuignus, Siegfried 



In Chile, Patagonien imd aiif Feuer- 

 land, Berlin, 1912. 



Contains a fairly good account (pp. 229-230) of 

 Ona culture, and a shorter one (pp. 23(>-244) of 

 Yahgan and Alacalufan. Five Yahgan words on 

 p. 243, from Capt. Bove's vocabulary. The 

 author seemingly had not much personal con- 

 tact with the Fuegian natives. Nine photo- 

 graphs, chiefly of Ona types. 



Beranger, Carlos de 



Relacion jeografica de la provincia de 

 Chiloe, San Carlos, 1773. Ed. with 

 in trod, and notes by Nicholas Anrique 

 R., Santiago de Chile, 1893. 



Contains (pp. 13-14, 16) interesting notes on 

 the territory and culture of the Chonos, with 

 further data from the early sources added by the 

 editor. Beranger had not visited the Chonos in 

 their native islands, but as governor of Chiloe 

 had some knowledge of them. 



Bermondy, Theoph, 



Les Patagoiis, les Fuega-ns et les 

 Araucans. (In Arch. Soc. amiricaine de 

 France, Paris, 1875, n. s. i, 355-366.) 



Contains a fair description of the Fucgians 

 based on the then extant sources, and an unim- 

 portant discussion of the interrelations of the 

 tribes of extreme southern South America. 



Betagh, William 



A voyage round tlio world: Being an 

 account of a remarkable enterprise, be- 

 gun in the year 1719, chiefly to cruise 

 on the Spaniards in the great South 

 Ocean, London, 1728; abstr. in Henry, 

 vol. II ; in Kerr, vol. x; in Bancarel, 

 vol. II. 



Contains (pp. 79-81, 85) brief though sympa- 

 thetic accounts, quoted verbatim from the jour- 

 nal of Capt. Clipperton's chief mate, George 

 Taylor, of the natives, probably Alacaluf, met 

 casually in June-July, 1719-, at points in the 

 Strait between Elizabeth Island and Cape 

 Quod. Betagh was captain of marines on Clip- 

 perton's vessel, the Success. 



Bischoff, Theodor von 



(«) Die Feuerlander in Europa, 

 Bonn, 1882. 



Bischoff, Theodor von — Continued 



This small brochure contains unimportant 

 notes on the mentality, moi-ality, and religion of 

 the Alacaluf, based on observation of the Hagen- 

 beck group exhibited in Europe. Stature meas- 

 urements on p, 3. 



(6) Bemerkung iiber die Geschleehts- 

 verhaltnisse dor Feuerlander. (In Sitz- 

 ungsber. d. Math.-phys. Classe d. kgl. 

 buyer. Akad. d. Wissensch.. Miinchen, 

 1882, XII, 243-246.). 



A study of Alacalufan sexual anatomy and 

 physiology, based on observation of the same 

 group. 



(c) ^Yeitere Bemerkungen iiber die 

 Feuerlander. (Ibid., pp. 356-368.) 



Anatomical data obtained from the post- 

 mortem examination of the sexual and some 

 other organs of two women of the same group; 

 also (p. 368) stature measurements and brain 

 weight of same two women and of one man.

Bohr 



Besucli von Feuerlandern am bord 

 S. M. S. Hansa. (In Verh. Berlin. Ges. 

 f. Anthr. u. s. w., 1881. pp. [30J-31.) 



A short description of some Alacaluf met in 

 their canoe on July 29, 1879, about 30 miles west of 

 Cape Froward. Dr. Bohr, a naval surgeon, 

 measured the heads (breadth, length, circum- 

 ference) of three and the stature of four of the 

 .Macaluf men who came aboard. 



BoUettino salesiano. Periodico dclla Pia 

 unioue dei cooperatori di Dom Bosco. 

 Published monthly, Turin, Italy, 

 1877-, and printed in 8 languages. 



The official organ of the Salcsian fathers, an 

 increasingly important source of first-hand in- 

 formation on the Onas and .\lacaluf; compara- 

 tively little about the Yahgans. The Salesians 

 have been established in Alacalufan territory 

 since 18S9 and in Onan since 1892. With the 

 exception of the Bridges and Lawrence brothers, 

 few if any white men have had better opportuni- 

 ties for studying the <.1nas and Alacaluf at first 

 hand. Frequent contributions of anthropo- 

 logical value have been published in the BnUrt- 

 tino since 1SS7 by Mgr. Fagnano, Fathers Beau- 

 voir, Borgatello, Rossi, Renzi, Zenone, and 

 others. Most of the recent numbers contain 

 photographs. Dr. Cojazzi (q. v.) has gleaned all 

 the above scattered anthropological material and 

 published it in his recent valuable work.
