Darapsky, Luis L. 



(a) La lengua araiicana, Santiago de 

 Cliile, 1888. (Reprint from Revista de 

 arles y letras.) 



Contains (pp. 29-35 passim) a few notes on cer- 

 tain morphological resemblances of the Yahgan 

 to the " Meso-Andine " tongues of South America. 



(b) Estudios lingiiisticos americanos: 

 Fueguinos. (In Bol. Inst, geogr. ar- 

 gent., Buenos Aires, 1889, x, 276-289.) 



Dr. Darapsky calls attention to some gram- 

 matical resemblances of the Yahgan tongue to 

 the Araucanian, Guarani, Aymara, Quechua, 

 and others. He concludes (p. 2S7) that the com- 

 parison does not justify the supposition of close 

 kinship of the Yahgan with the Araucanian, but 

 does suggest a remote common source for the 

 Yahgan and "Meso-Andine" tongues. His Yah- 

 gan data are apparently derived from Bridges, 

 narbe, and Adam. 



Darwin, Charles Robert 



(a) Journal and remarks 1832-1836, 

 London, 1839. (Vol. m of Narrative of 

 the surveying voyages of H. M. S. 

 Adventure and Beagle; various later 

 editions; the account of the Fuegians 

 in the Journal of researches, etc.. New 

 York, 1871, is rather fuller than in the 

 original edition.) 



Contains (pp. 227-244 of orig. ed.; pp. 204-230 

 of 1871 ed.) an extensive and important descrip- 

 tion chiefly of culture, the Alacalufan in par- 

 ti<'ular; the Onan and Yahgan are treated much 

 more summarily. 



(6) The descent of man and selection 

 in relation to sex, 2 vols., London, 1871; 

 many later editions. 



Contains many references passim to the Fue- 

 gians, chiefly Alacaluf. 



(c) The expression of the emotions 

 in man and animals, London, 1872. 



Contains passim some interesting data on the 

 expression of the emotions among the Fuegians. 

 These data are from Mr. Darwin's own observa- 

 tion and from answers by Mr. Thomas Bridges 

 to a questionnaire. 



Mr. Darwin's numerous observations on the 

 Fuegians usually refer to the Alacaluf. He was 

 in Fuegian waters from Dec. 17, 1832, to Jan., 



1833, and from the end of May, 1834, to June 10, 



1834, on Admiral Fitz-Roy's .second e.xpedition. 

 During these two visits he had a fair amount of 

 contact with the natives, and in addition had the 

 advantage of close study of the three Fuegians 

 aboard on the voyage from England to Fuegia. 

 His data on moral and religious culture were de- 

 rived chiefly from other members of the expedi- 

 tion. 



Mr. Darwin's letters to Admiral Sir B. J. 

 Sulivan, commending the work of the English 



Darwin, Charles Robert — Continued 

 missionaries, were published in the S. Avicr. 

 miss, mag., 1882, pp. 138, 2(«1, and 188S, pp. 54-5.5. 

 They are of interest chiefly from the religious 

 standpoint. 



Delorme Salto, Rafael 



Los aborigenes de America, Madrid- 

 Habana, 1894. 



Contains short accounts of the Fuegians (pp. 

 151-152) and Chonos (pp. 127-129), and some notes 

 passim (pp. 11-58). Unimportant; the author 

 fails to utilize the Fuegian literature of the last 

 two generations. 



Deniker, Joseph 



(«) and Hyades, P. D. J. 



Mission scientifique du cap Horn, 

 VII. See Hyades, q.

 R. Congrcs internat. des Americanistes, 

 8th sess., Paris, 1890, ibid., 1892, pp.

The conclusions of Drs. Hyades and Deniker, 

 as expressed in Mission sc. du cap Horn, vn, 106, 

 regarding the probable relationship of the Fue- 

 gians (Yahgans and Alacaluf) to other South 

 American aborigines^ especially the Lagoa- 

 Santa "race." 



(c) Les races et les peuples de la terre, 

 Paris, 1900; Engl, tr., London, 1900. 



Contains (passim, and pp. 6.5()-C.58 of orig., pp. 

 575-576 of tr.) unimportnat brief notes on the 

 Fuegians and Chonos.

 la langue yahgane. (In Verh. d. X VI. 

 Intern. Amerikanisten-Kongr., ^'ienna,

An announcement of the proximate ])ublica- 

 tion of the Rev. Thomas Bridges' larger Yahgan 

 dictionary brought back by the Belgica expedi- 

 tion in 1899. See also Hestermann. Prof. Franz 

 Bqps (ibid., pp. Ixviii-lxix) expressed the hope 

 that it would be published as an etymological 

 dictionary. 



Despard, George Pakenham 



(«) Yahgan dictionary. MS. (Ref- 

 erence from Marsh-Stirling, o, p. 100.) 



According to a letter written by the Rev. Mr. 

 Despard under date of Jan. 23, 1859, he had got- 

 ten together nearly 1,000 words in the Yahgan 

 tongue, but no grammar. These had been gath- 

 ered from natives met in Fuegia, and from the 

 Jemmy Button family who had removed the 

 preceding year to the Keppel Island Mission in 

 the Falklands. I have come across no other 

 mention of this dictionary. As the author con- 

 tinued his linguistic studies under exceiitionally 

 favorable conditions for three years after 1859, 

 his dictionary must have grown much beyond
