BIBLIOGKAPHY OF TRIBES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO 



87 



Ferrufino [or Ferrufifio], Juan Bautista 



"Decern Dei mandata & solemnes 

 Cliristianorum preces, ac formula(m) 

 detestandi peccata" in the Chonoan 

 language. MSS. 1609. (Mentioned 

 by Del Teclio, bk. 6, ch. 9, p. 160.) 



According to Father Lozano (n, 456), it was 

 Father Estevan, not Father Ferrufino, who made 

 the translations into Chono. There seem, how- 

 ever, to he good reasons for concluding that the 

 latter, too, made translations. Father Del Techo's 

 account of the Chouos and Chono missions is 

 based largely, at least, on origuial sources, prob- 

 ably on missionaries' letters (pp. 161, 181). 

 Father Ferrufino, moreover, is reported (Del 

 Techo, loc. cit.) to have made his translations in 

 two days with the aid of a Chono interpreter, 

 while Father Estevan, although he, too, used an 

 interpreter, actually learned the Chono language. 

 Finally, the texts translated by the former are 

 entirely different, according to our soiu'ces, from 

 those translated by the latter. 



Unfortunately, the Ferrufino manuscript, like 

 the Estevan translations, has been lost, perhaps 

 beyond recovery. 



The original sources for Father Ferrufino's 

 voyage and writings are: Del Techo, bk. 6, ch. 

 8-9, pp. 159-160; Lozano, vol. n, bk. 5, pp. 34-44; 

 Olivares, ch. 10, no. 1, pp. 367-368. 



Feuilleret, Henri 



Le detroit de Magellan, Tours, 1880. 



Contains (pp. 130-139) an unimportant ac- 

 count of the Alacaluf, based chiefly on Bougain- 

 ville, and (pp. 238-239) a "Note sur les Fu^giens" 

 from Wyse. 



Figuier, Louis 



The human race, London, 1872. 



Contains (pp. 416-419) an imimportant and in 

 some points inaccurate accoimt of Fuegian cul- 

 ture and languages. 



Fitz-Roy, Robert 



(a) Proceedings of the second expedi- 

 tion 1831-1836, London, 1839. (Vol. ii 

 of Narrative of the surveying voyages of 

 H. M. S. Adventure and Beagle.) 



One of our most important sources for the cul- 

 ture of the Alacaluf of the Strait and Patagonian 

 Charmels (the latter natives called by Admiral 

 Fitz-Roy Chonos), less important for Yahgan (Te- 

 keenika,Yapoo) culture,stiU lessfor Onan (Oens- 

 men). The most valuable sections are: General 

 division of tribes, pp. 129-133; "Tekeenika," pp. 

 137-140; Alikhoolip, pp. 140-141; "Huemuls," 

 141-142; "Chonos," p. 142; Alikhoolip and "Te- 

 keenikas," pp. 175-189; "Chonos," pp. 189-200. 

 In addition there are numerous more or less im- 

 portant details passim on the natives; see espe- 

 cially: on the Yahgans, pp. 203, 208-211, 214-215, 

 220-222,323; on the Onas,pp. 121-122,205-206,325- 

 326; on the Chonos proper, pp. 359-395 passim.

Fitz-Roy, Robert — Continued 

 (6) Appendix to same vol. ii. 



Contains an important English-Yahgan-Ala- 

 caluf vocabulary of 208 words on pp. 135-140, and 

 a vocabulary of 3 "Chonoan" (?) words on p. 142. 

 The appendix also includes some somatological 

 data (measurements of 2 men, etc.) by Dr. Wil- 

 son on pp. 142-147, and long extracts from By- 

 ron's Loss of the Wager on pp. 124-134. 



It should be noted that the first volume of the 

 Narrative of the Adventure and Beagle contains 

 extensive and anthropologically important ex- 

 tracts from Admiral Fitz-Roy's journal of the 

 first expedition. 



Few Magellanic explorers have had the ample 

 opportimities for first-hand investigation of the 

 natives that Admiral Fitz-Roy had. He took 

 part in the first e.xpedition from Dec, 1828, to the 

 end as captain of the Beagle, and commanded the 

 second expedition. Altogether, he spent consid- 

 erably over a year in the Fuegian archipelago, 

 during which time he had very frequent contact 

 with the native tribes, particularly the Alacaluf. 

 Moreover, he' derived a great portion of his data 

 "from the natives who went to England in the 

 Beagle, and from Mr. Low, who has seen more of 

 them [Fuegians] in their own coimtry than any 

 other living person " (a, p. 129) . In some respects, 

 however, these native informants were not, it 

 would seem, unimpeachable witnesses. Mr. Low 

 was the captain of the Adeona; his intercourse 

 was chiefly with the Chamiel Alacaluf (o, p. 182), 

 whose language, however, he did not speak (o, 

 p. 193). 



The Alacaluf-Yahgan vocabulary was gath- 

 ered from the four natives brought to England, 

 three Alacaluf and one Yahgan. " I found great 

 difficulty in obtaining words, excepting names 

 for things which could be shoA'v'n to them and 

 which they had in their o^vn country "(a, p. 188). 

 This vocabulary is discussed at length in the In- 

 troduction to the present bibliography. Admi- 

 ral Fitz-Roy did not learn either the Yahgan or 

 the Alacaluf language. 



Admiral Fitz-Roy's division of the Fuegian 

 tribes has been abandoned, and some few of his 

 cultural data would need revising, but even after 

 the lapse of these eighty years he still remains our 

 most important authority for Alacalufan culture, 

 and little indeed has been added to our knowl- 

 edge of Alacalufan culture since his time. 



Fletcher, Francis 



The world encompassed by Sir Fran- 

 cis Drake, collected out of the notes of 

 Master Francis Fletcher preacher . . . 

 and others, London, 1635, 1652-1653 (1st 

 ed., 1628); Osborne, vol. ii; Purves; 

 Hakl. soc, vol. xvi, ed. by W. S. W. 

 Vaux, London, 1854; extr. in Hyades, 

 q, pp. 2-4; abstr. in Bancarel, vol. ii, 

 and in Henry, vol. i. 



Contains a good though not extensive descrip- 

 tion of Alacaluf met near Elizabeth Island in 

 1578. Fletcher's account of the natives is much 

 fuller than Pretty's.
