Furlong, Charles Wellington — Continued 

 (vi) [The Ona bow and arrow] 

 [Article]: 



"This will deal with the material of which 

 tliese bows are made, methods of making, their 

 purpose and the way they are used, including as 

 far as possible the Indian names for the material 

 and parts and any interesting facts relating to 

 the subject." 



(n) [Patagonian and Fuegian foot 

 prints and hand prints] [Article]: 



"This article will contain comments on a col- 

 lection of some fifty hand prints and foot prints 

 I took from the Tehuelches, Yahgans, and Onas. 

 The majority oT these prints are from the Ona 

 people of ijoth sexes, from babies to adults. I 

 shall also make use of a few circumference line 

 tracings of hands, in connection with tliis article." 



(o) [Yahgan and Ona songs and 



speech] [Article]: 



"This will be based on about a dozen phono- 

 graphic records I secured from the Ona and 

 Yahgan Amerinds. A duplicate set of tlicse was 

 sent to Prof. Stumpf and Br. von Hombostel of 

 Berlin University for their phonographic ar- 

 chives." Prof. Furlong will be very largely 

 under obligation to Dr. Erich von Hombostel for 

 this article. Cf. note by Dr. von Hombostel in 

 Zcitschr. f. Ethn., Berlin, 1912, xliv, 831; also 

 Coriat, pp. 205-206. 



(p) [Comments on the Ona and 

 Yahgan languages] [Article]: 



" This will contain a list of words secured by 

 me and comments on the character of speech and 

 its usage; also a brief history of the famousr 

 Bridges dictionary." 



The two following articles appeared after my 

 manuscript had gone to the printer. 



{q) Some effects of euYironment on 

 the Fuegian tribes. (In Geographical re- 

 vicv, New York, Jan., 1917, in, 1-15.) 



The best extant treatment of the subject. Yah- 

 gan and Ona stature measurements as in 6 and 

 d. 3 Yahgan words and one Onan. 2 maps. 



(r) Tribal distribution and settle- 

 ments of the Fuegians. (Ibid., Mar., 

 1917, III, 169-187.) 



An important article dealing with the territo- 

 ries, nomenclature, decrease and causes thereof, 

 and settlements of the Fuegian tribes. 3 maps, 

 especially one showing the hunting grounds of 

 the various Ona clans. 



In addition to the above studies, published 

 and in preparation, Prof. Furlong has in manu- 

 script extensive field notes on the Fuegian 

 tribes, including the above-mentioned Yahgan, 

 SWlk'nam, and Manekenkn vocabularies. Cf. 

 also Coriat. 



The author's published articles are important 

 contriljutions to Yahgan and Onan cultural 



Furlong, Charles Wellington — Continued 

 anthropology, and his contemplated publica- 

 tions will throw much light not only on some 

 little-known pliases of Fuegian culture but on 

 the languages and some departments of soma- 

 tologj- as well. Of the pubhshed articles listed 

 aix)ve, b, d, j, and k, q and r are by far the most 

 important. 



His contriltutions to Fuegian anthropology 

 are based on careful observation and inquiry 

 made during an expedition to Fuegia in 1907-8. 

 He spent about three months among tlie Yahgans 

 and Onas. For tlae greater part of tliis time he 

 traveled with Yahgans by l)oat and canoe 

 tlirougli Beagle Channel south to Ponsonby 

 Sound, and with Onas afoot and in the saddle 

 from Harberton through the heart of Tierra del 

 Fuego Island. Many of Ms cultural data are, 

 moreover, derived verbally from the very liest 

 first-hand authorities, the Lawrence and Bridges 

 brothers. 



The six Haush words were gathered from 

 Pelota, an old Haush man living at Harberton, 

 with tlie assistance of a Yahgan who spoke a few 

 words of Hausli and but very little English. 

 Nearly all the Ona nouns were oi)tained by 

 sketching the object and ha^'ing the natives give 

 the equivalent in their own tongue, a game wliich 

 seemed to interest them very much, for tliey 

 would repeat the term as often and distinctly as 

 desired. 



Two extensive collections made by Prof. Fur- 

 long are now in the American Museum of Natural 

 History, New York, and in the l^eabody Museum 

 at Harvard. The former is especially rich in 

 Onan artifacts. Two smaller collections made 

 by him are in the Peabody Museum at Salem, 

 Mass., and in the Museum of the American In- 

 dian, Heye Foundation, New York. 



Gajardo, Ismael 



Viaje de la escampavia "Huemul," 

 Marzo, 1902. (In An. hidr. mar. Chile, 

 Valparaiso, 1905, xxv, 25^5.) 



Contains a few unimportant notes (pp. 32-34) 

 on the modern Yahgans.

The fiallardo expedition of 1674-75 got as far 

 as the Gulf of Pefias, ha\dng crossed the Isthmus 

 of Ofqui. Some of the data in the Belacion on 

 pp. 527, .530-.5;« have a slight bearing on the 

 vexed question of Chonoan linguistic relations.
