Dr. Dabliene has the following title in his 

 bibhography: Recorriendo las islas de Tierra del 

 Fuego, articulos publicados en El Diario de 

 Buenos Aires, 1910, nos. 6495-6.506. Prof. Fur- 

 long tells me that these must be articles written 

 up from interviews with him. 



(i) Stone age men of the Land of Fire. 

 (In Travel, New York, Oct., 1915, xxv, 

 no. 6, pp. 9-13.) 



A good popular summary of Ona culture, wth 

 a few notes on that of the Yahgans. Some excel- 

 lent photographs, illustrating Ona culture and 

 physical type. 



(j) The Alaculoofs and Yahgans, the 

 world's southernmost inhabitants. (In 

 Proc. 19th Internal, congr. of American- 

 ists, Washington, 1915, pp. 420-431, 

 1917.) 



An important contribution to our knowledge of

 numbers. Stature measurements, maximum, 

 minimum, and average, of 14 Yahgan men. 



(k) The Haush and Ona, primitive 

 tribes of Tierra del Fuego. (Ibid., pp. 

 432-444.) 



A valuable paper containing some excellent 

 new material on Ona culture, especially psychi- 

 cal culture. Stature measurements, maximum 

 and average, of 11 Ona men. The linguistic ma- 

 terial consists of a short Haush vocabulary of 6 

 words, a longer Ona or Shilk'nam one of 94 words 

 and expressions, and several Ona and Yahgan 

 words passim, all being material gathered directly 

 from the natives. Of special interest, too, is the 

 author's discussion of the little known Haush 

 subtribe, whom, however, he classes as a distinct 

 linguistic stock. 



In both the preceding papers Prof. Furlong 

 emphasizes the role which en^dronment has 

 played in the development of Fuegian culture. 



Prof. Furlong, by letter of May 7, 1915, has kindly 

 furnished me with the following list and descrip- 

 tion of studies he is preparing for pubhcation:

 archipelago] [Book]: 



"The bulk of this material will naturally re- 

 late to my experience and observations of the 

 Yahgan and Ona tribes and the lands they in- 

 habit,"
