Hyades, Paul Daniel Jules— Continued 

 other wTil ings (except , for a few minor points, the 

 preceding article, ;)). an<l. tor that matter, almost 

 everything else that had been published previ- 

 ously by the Rev. Mr. Bridges, the members of 

 the Bove expedition, and earlier writers on the 

 Yahgans, may be safely neglected. Moreover, 

 since the jniblication of this classic little of 

 importance has been added to our knowledge 

 of Yahgan culture, although there have been ad- 

 vances in the fields of somatology and particu- 

 larly of language. It may be added that Dr. 

 Hyades' writings are sources for the anthro- 

 pology of the Yahgans almost exclusively. As 

 he carefully emphasizes, he had no personal expe- 

 rience with the Onas, and very little with the 

 A lacaluf.

During Dr. Hyades' sojourn at Orange Bay, 

 in the heart of the Yahgan territory, from Sept., 

 1882, to Sept., 1883, 120 to 130 Yahgans made 

 longer or shorter stays there. He lived on friend- 

 ly terms with them, and succeeded in gaining and 

 holding their confidence. While he did not Icara 

 to speak their language, he made a diligent study 

 of it, and besides had the advantage, part of the 

 time at least, of native interpreters. Hissomato- 

 logical data are almost entirely the result of per- 

 sonal study, though in collaboration with Drs. 

 Deniker and Testut especially, but for the cul- 

 tural and linguistic he drew largely upon the in- 

 timate knowledge of the Rev. Mr. Bridges and 

 the other English missionaries, with whom ho 

 was in close touch. 



Hyades, Paul Daniel Jules — Continued 

 Dr. Hyades was admirably fitted lx>th by 

 temperament and by training for the work he 

 undertook, and it is needless to add carried on 

 his researches in a thoroughly scientific manner. 

 Of liis Yahgan linguistic material he wTites 

 (p. 263): "Nous avons multipli(5 les interroga- 

 tions aupres des indigenes do divers groupes, 

 dans les circonstances les plus varices, de maniore 

 h bien tHablir le sens exact des mots En outre 

 nous avons pris, sur tons ces termes, Va.\is de 

 M. Bridges ..." He also received much assist- 

 ance from Dr.Hahn, thesurgeonof theiJomanc/w, 

 who made considerable progress in acquiring a 

 speaking knowledge of Yahgan. Dr. Hyades' 

 Alacalufan vocabularies fall far short of liis 

 Yahgan one in value, as he liimself recognized 

 and expressly stated. Not only was less time 

 and care given to them, but also he received no 

 aid at all from the English missionaries (p. 13). 

 I have discussed the Alacalufan vocabularies 

 pul>lished by Dr. Hyades at length in the Intro- 

 duction to the present bil)liography. Cf. supra, 

 pp. 11,23-24,25. 



The other six volumes of the Mission du cap 

 Horn give many data bearing on Yahgan en- 

 vironment. These volvunes are as follows: 

 I, History of voyage, L. F. Martial (q. v.); ii, 

 Meteorology, J. Lephay; m, Terrestrial mag- 

 netism, F. O. Le Cannellier: Chemical consti- 

 tution of atmosphere, Miintz and Aubin; iv, 

 Geology, P. Hyades; v, Botany, Harlot and oth- 

 ers; ^^, Zoology, Milne-Edwards and others.
