Lehmann-Nitsche, Roberto — Continued 



part of the paper is the comparative Tehuelrhe- 

 Ona glossary of 2()'J words (pp. 2-12-270). Both the 

 Shilk'nam and M/uickenkn are re presented in the 

 Ona section. Ninety-seven Manekenkn words 

 from Mr. Lucas Bridges' manuscript vocabulary 

 are given, while Shilk'nam equivalents for 152 

 of the 209 words are included. The Shilk'nam 

 words are taken from Lista, 6, Segers, O. Nord- 

 enskjold, e, Beauvoir, a, Gallardo, and the au- 

 thor's own manuscript vocabulary. Dr. Leh- 

 maim-Nitsche's compilation, which gathers to- 

 gether lexical material scattered through some 25 

 jiublications and renders accessible invaluable 

 manuscript data, makes relatively easy the task 

 of verifying his conclusion that the verbal resem- 

 blances between the two chief Tehuelche dialects 

 on the one hand and the two chief Ona dialects 

 on the other are suiriciently clear to justify the 

 classification of all four under the one Tshon 

 group. 



Among many other points of interest in the 

 paper may be mentioned especially: The study 

 of the names and division of the Onas (pp. 231- 

 233), quotations from eleven authorities on the 

 linguistic kinship of the On.is with the Tehuel- 

 ches (pp. 231-237), discussion of Dr. Brinton's 

 and Prof. Chamberlain's theories on the same 

 subject (pp. 23(5-237).

Dr. Lehmann-Nitsche spent four months in 

 Tierra del Fuego in 1902 and since then has made 

 at least one other visit. His interest in Fuegian 

 linguistics dates from many years back. His 

 work is characterized by thoroughness and 

 attention to detail.

The author states his opinion (p. 312) that the 

 word Chono is indigenous, and that the Chonos 

 were probably related closely to the Tehuelches 

 and Onas. No proof adduced.

An important early contribution to the an- 

 thropology of the Onas, both the Shilk'nam and 

 in all probability the Manekenkn. The perti- 

 nent data are scattered through the book as fol- 

 lows: On the somatological, cultural, and lin- 

 guistic resemblance of the Onas to the Tehuel- 

 ches, a resemblance which the author rather over- 

 emphasized, pp. 53-5(), 33, 79, 82, 89; stature meas- 

 urements of three men of Policarp Cove, or Thetis 

 Bay, of three girls and one boy of San Sebastian 

 Bay, pp. 5('), 81, and 120; culture, especially pp. 

 80-90, 95, 117-118, and above all 120-130 (on the 

 Thetis Bay natives) ; language, 27 words of nortl.- 

 ern Ona, p. 82, SO of southern Ona, pp. 144-145, 

 1 on p. 34, and 3 on p. 50 not found in above vo- 

 cabularies. 



The northern Ona words were gathered from 

 four captives, three girls and one boy, who were 

 taken alii tie south of San Sebastian Bay,andwho 

 accompanied the party for over a month. The 

 southern Ona vocabulary was gathered from the 

 natives at or near Thetis Bay, where the expedi- 

 tion halted for about three weeks. A comparison
