BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRIBES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO 



107 



Lista, Ramon-^Continued 



of this list with Dr. Lehmaiui-Nitsche's glossary 

 shows it to be, to an appreciable extent at least, 

 Manekenkn rather than Shilk'nam, and in this 

 case Senor Lista's cultural and somatolot;ical data 

 on the Tlietis Bay natives assume greater impor- 

 tance than has been given them, as the published 

 material on Manekenkn culture and somatology 

 is extremely meager. 



(c) Letter to Gen. Mitre. {In Peterm. 

 Mitt., Gotha, 1887, xxxm, 156-157.) 



Written from Thetis Bay, Jan. 1, 1887. Con- 

 tains a few unimportant notes on the Onas. 



((/) Lamentaciones del ultimo Guai- 

 caro. (In La Nacion, Buenos Aires, 

 Apr. 9, 1895.) (Reference from Lista, 

 e,p.41.) 



Contains, according to the author (ibid.), his 

 Guaicaro vocabulary. Cf. infra, e. 



(e) Lenguas argentinas: Los Tehuel- 

 ches de la Patagonia. (In Anales Soc. 

 dent, argent., Buenos Aires, 1896, xlii,

"All the Tehuelches . . . speak Tzoneka, asdo 

 also the Onas . . . who have an ancient dialect 

 with accretions from the Yahgan, Alacaluf, and 

 Guaicaro . . . this last being the language of the 

 former inhabitants of Brunswick Peninsula and 

 King William's Land" (p. 37). On p. 41 the 

 author publishes his "Guaicaro" vocabulary of 

 19 words, gathered from a Guaicaro medicine- 

 man living at the time among Tehuelches. The 

 vocabulary is clearly Alacalufan. On pp. 39-42 

 a discussion of Father Herv4s', Father Molina's, 

 and Perez Garcia 's statements about the Chonos, 

 Cancans, and Poyas. 



Besides his travels among the Tehuelches, 

 Senor Lista spent nearly three months from 

 Nov., 188(1, to Jan., 1887 in Ona territory, follow- 

 ing the eastern coast of Tierra del Fuego from 

 San Sebastian Bay south to Thetis and Good 

 Success Bays. During this time he had consid- 

 erable personal contact with the natives, espe- 

 cially with those of Thetis Bay, where he re- 

 mained for about three weeks. He was one of 

 the earliest explorers of the Ona country and was 

 the first to publish an Ona vocabulary. His cul- 

 tural data, except the assertion of Ona cremation 

 (6, p. 55) and a minor point here and there, have 

 been verified by later authorities. 



Loaysa, Frey Garcia Jofre de. 1526 



(In Oviedo, Hist. gen. de las India?, 

 II, bk. 20, ch. 10; Herrera, Hist. gen. 

 de los hechos de los castellanos, dec. 3, 

 bk. 9, ch. 4; de Brosses, i, 150-158.) 



The expedition met in 1526 some canoe-using 

 natives in the Strait not far from " P. St. George" 

 (apparently off Clarence Island). Oviedo may 

 have gotten his information verbally from some 

 one or other of the members of the expedition. 

 While he gives only most meager details, his ac- 



Loaysa, Frey Garcia Jofre de — Continued 

 count is of interest as being the first record of an 

 actual meeting of white men with the Fuegians. 

 Magellan saw only the fires of the natives. 



Lohr, Johauu Andreas Christian 



Die Lander und Volker der Erde, 4 

 vols., Leipzig, 1818-19. 



Contains (iv, 401-403) a short, unimportant 

 description of the Fuegians, based on the then 

 extant written sources. 



Lord's Prayer printed in the Yahgan 

 language, London, 1889. (Reference 

 furnished by Mr. Wilberforce Eames.) 



Perhaps reprinted from Th. Bridges, m. 

 Lovisato, Domenico

 Fueghini, e degli antichi Patagoni.

 ccLxxx, 1882-83, Memor. Classe di 

 scienze mor., stor. e philol., 3d ser. xi, 

 Roma, 1883, pp. 194-202.) 



A valuable detailed description of the material 

 culture of the Yahgans and to a lesser extent of 

 the Alacaluf and Onas. Passim some 20 Yah- 

 gan words, and 1 Onan, all bearing on material 

 culture. One plate, with 16 figures, illustrating 

 artifacts. 



(6) Appunti etnografici con accenni 

 geologici sulla Terra del Fuoco. (In 

 Cora's Cosmos, Torino, 1884-85, viii,

 Cenni etnografici, fasc. 5, pp. 129-151.) 



The author's most important paper. The 

 first part contains the only published detailed 

 account of systematic excavations of the kitchen 

 middens of Fuegia proper. Dr. Lovisato 's in- 

 vestigation of the great Elizabeth Island shell 

 heaps throws considerable light on the earlier 

 cultural conditions prevailing in the Fuegian 

 archipelago, though some of the conclusions he 

 draws are perhaps a little hazardous. The 

 second part of the paper, intended to supplement 

 Capt. Bove's account, largely follows the latter 

 as regards higher culture, but adds some im- 

 portant new data on material culture, chiefly 

 Yahgan, with, however, many incidental refer- 

 ences to the Onan and Alacalufan. Some 35 

 Yahgan words passim for artifacts and natural 

 objects.

 pp. 719-724.) 



The writer takes exception to some points in 

 Dr. Colinl's article (q. v.). The latter, however, 

 was almost certainly right in calling a star-shaped 

 clubhead what Dr. Lovisato called an arrow- 

 shaft polisher. Several Yahgan words passim.
