I DULL. 63

 38-42) and observations, descriptive notes and 

 measurements upon the cadavers and osteologi 

 cal remains of the same two natives (pp. 43-52)

Keane, Augustus Henry 



(«) Fue<]:ian ethnology. (In Nature, 

 London-New York, Aug. 9, 1883, 

 XXVIII, 344-345.) 



A summary of Capt. Bove's cul tural and soma- 

 tologieal data, taken from Dr. Cora's articles in 

 Cosmos, Turin, 1882-83, vol. vn. Some inaccu- 

 racies. 



(b) Man, past and present, repr. of 

 Isted., Cambridge, 1900. 



Contains some remarks (pp. 430-431) on the 

 etlinic relationship of the three Fuegian tribes, 

 and (pp. 431-432) on Yahgan family ethics. Dr. 

 Keane calls attention to the disparate estimates 

 given by Capt. Bove and Dr. Hyades of Yahgan 

 morality, particularly domestic morality, and 

 suggests that the seeming differences are partly 

 due to the missionaries, beyond whose sphere of 

 influence "the darker pictures presented by the 

 early observers and later by Bove, Lovisato, and 

 others, still hold good." But in point of fact, 

 Capt. Bove and his party made a great part of 

 their observations at ITshuaia, the mission sta- 

 tion itself. It looks very much as if Capt. Bove 

 mistook the Yahgan's studied concealment of 

 the affective emotions before strangers for utter 

 selfishness. Again, while both Capt. Bove's and 

 Dr. Hyades' "good faith is above suspicion," 

 the latter was an appreciably better equipped 

 and more cautious observer, and had many times 

 greater opportimities for observation. Finally, 

 Dr. Hyades' accoimt agrees much more closely 

 with that of the other few important first-hand 

 authorities on the subject (cf. Subject Bibli- 

 ography, imder Domestic Culture). As for the 

 earlierobser\'ers,thebestofthem, Capt. Fitz-Roy, 

 had very limited experience with the Yahgans 

 and expressly disclaims (a, p. 182) the right to 

 speak with certainty on less obvious phases of 

 culture like that of family ethics. 



(c) Central and South America, rev. 

 ed., 2 vols., London, 1901. (Stan- 

 ford's Compendium.) 



Contains (i, .307-310. and passim) a brief ac- 

 coimt of the three Fuegian tribes. Good maps. 



(d) The world's peoples, New York, 

 1908. 



Contains (pp. 301-305) practically same ac- 

 count, chiefly of Yahgans, as in Man, past and 

 present; well written but some inaccuracies, viz., 

 "four wives common" (p. 303), average Yahgan 

 stature 4 feet C inches (p. 304). Four photo- 

 graphs of Yahgan and Ona types.

King, Phillip Parker 



Proceedings of the first expedition, 

 1826-1830, London, 1839. (Vol. i of 

 the Nan-ative of the surveying voyages 

 of H. M. S. Adventure and Beagle.) 



A very important source on tliB culture, ciiicfly 

 of the Alacaluf, to a minor extent of the Yahgans 

 and Onas. Tlie anthropological material is scat- 

 tered through the whole work. The greater part 

 of this material is accessible in more systematic 

 form in Capt. Fitz-Roy's Proceedings of the sec- 

 ond expedition, but many valuable data are not 

 to be foimd in the latter narrative. See espe- 

 cially in vol. I, pp. 23-24, 54-55, 74-77, 147-148, 166, 

 314-319, 415, 439^42. Four Alacalufan words 

 and 1 Yahgan, pp. 53, 77, 320, 343, 444. 



The present volume was edited by Admiral 

 Fitz-Roy from Capt. King's journal, but includes 

 also extensive extracts from the journals of Capt. 

 Stokes, Lieut. Skyring, Admiral Fitz-Roy, and 

 Mr. Murray. The first expedition spent alto- 

 gether about two years in the Fuegian archi- 

 pelago, intermittently from Jan., 1S27, to June, 

 1830. During this time the members had very 

 numerous though casual meetings with the na- 

 tives, mostly Alacaluf.
