BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRIBES OF TTERRA DEI. FUEGO 



91 



Gallardo, Carlos R, 



Los Onas, Buenos Aires, 1910. 



An important and indispensable monograph, 

 treating in the minutest detail every department 

 (except mythology) of Ona (Shllk'nam) culture, 

 and including valuable material on Ona linguis- 

 tics. Somatology is treated very briefly. 



Contents: Em-ironment, pp. 1-93; divisions, 

 names, and origin of Onas, pp. 95-108; descrip- 

 tive somatology, pp. 109-117; distribution, pp. 

 118-120; culture, pp. 121-358; language, pp. 359- 

 395. The section on language includes some 

 valuable though meager data on grammar and 

 many Ona words passim; there are also many 

 Ona words scattered tlirough the whole book. 

 Copious illustrations, although many of the 

 photographs have been considerably retouched. 



Dr. Gallardo's work is based primarily on 

 personal observation during two (or more?) 

 visits to Tierra del Fuego, on the study of 

 museum material— and perhaps to some extent 

 on written sources, although none are cited in 

 the work. In addition he has received much 

 information from Mr. Lucas Bridges, "con cuya 

 ayuda", as he writes, p. 364, "he podido realizar 

 esta obra. Un cariiioso recuerdo tamtai^n para 

 el indio Pedro, muerto fuera de sus montanas y 

 sus bosques; mucho fue lo que 61 me ensen6." 



Garbe, R. 



Glossar der feuerlandischen Sprache 

 von Julius Platzmann, Leipzig, 1882. 

 (In Gottingsche gelehrte Ameigen, Got- 

 tingen, 1883, i, 336-376.) 



A rather sharp criticism of Dr. Platzmann's 

 Yahgan vocabulary, followed by a lengthy and 

 important treatise on Yahgan grammar, based 

 (p. 341) on ten letters vnitten by the Rev. Mr. 

 Bridges to Prof. Max Miiller. Many Yahgan 

 words passim 



Garcia [Marti or Alsue], Jose 



(a) Diario del viaje i navegacion 

 hechos por el padre Jose Garcia de la 

 Compania de Jesus desde su mision de 

 Cailin, en Chiloe, hacia el sur en los 

 anos 1766. i 1767. (Published first in 

 von Murr's Nachrichten, vol. ii; then 

 in Anales Universidad de Chile, 1871, 

 vol. XXXVIII ; finally with extensive 

 notes by Diego Barros Arana in An. 

 hidr. mar. Chile, Santiago, 1889, xiv, 

 3^7.) 



One of the most important early sources on the 

 culture of the Chonos (and Alacaluf?). The cul- 

 tural data are scattered through the narrative; 

 see especially pp. 6, 14-15, 20-21, 23-25, 28-32, 37- 

 38, 42 (of the edition by Dr. Barros Arana). The 

 tribal divisions (pp. 31-33) are given with more 

 det ail in t he next reference . Map . 



(6) [Letter of Oct. 31, 1783, on the 

 tribal and linguistic divisions of the na- 

 tives between Chiloe and the Strait. 1 

 (In Hervas y Panduro, a and b.) 



Garcia [Marti or Alsue], Jose — Contd. 



For comment see Hervas. 



Father Garcia left the Cailin Mission on Oct. 

 23, 1766, with 5 Spaniards and 34 CJionos. They 

 crossed the Isthmus of Ofqui and got as far as the 

 Guaianeco Islands, where they remained a little 

 while, returning to Cailin Jan. 30, 1767. Father 

 Garcia probably used an interpreter in giving his 

 missionary message to the Guaianeco Islanders 

 (pp. 30-31), as the whole tenor of his letter to 

 Father Her\'as seems to imply that he did not 

 speak the language(s) of the natives. His 

 cultural data, based on personal observation 

 chiefly, are therefore more dependable than Iiis 

 linguistic data. 



Garson, John George 



On the inliabitants of Tierra del 

 Fuego. (In .Jour. Anthr. inst., Lon- 

 don, 1885, XV, 141-157.) 



An important study of the following osteolog- 

 ical material in the Museum of the Royal College 

 of Surgeons of England: no. 1025, cf Alacalufan 

 skull (the same one that Owen, Huxley, and 

 Flower had described) and parts of skeleton; nos. 

 1025*-'', 102r>-1027, 6 d and 2 ? Yahgan skulls, 

 and 3-4 incomplete skeletons, obtained directly 

 or indirently through the South American Mis- 

 sionary Society. Dr. Garson's paper also con- 

 tains a review passim of the somatological evi- 

 dence to 1885, and a good summary of Fuegian 

 culture, based on Fitz-Roy, Bridges, and Bove. 



Gasperi, G. B. de

 digena della Terra del Fuoco. (In

 1913, XLiii, 163-166; summary in Riv. 

 geogr. ital., Firenze, 1913, xx, 627-628.) 



Statistics of and a statement of eight causes for 

 he rapid diminution of the native Fuegian popu- 

 lation from 1880 to 1913. A good treatment of the 

 subject.
