BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRIBES OF TIERBA DEL FITEGO 



111 



Martin, Rudolf — Continued 



Braunschweig, 1893-94, xxii, 155- 

 218.) 



A very important monograph coordinating all 

 the then extant sources on Yahgan and Alacalu- 

 fan anatomy. Of the 21 skeletons and 58 skxills 

 included, the great majority were Yahgan, the 

 rest Alacalufan. Dr. Martin's conclusion was 

 , that the Alacaluf differ from the Yahgans by a 

 slightly taller stature and by a slightly greater 

 tendency to dolichocephalism (pp. 159, 210-211). 

 Bibliography, pp. 210-217. 2 plates.

(a) Influence of environment upon 

 human industries or arts. (In Smith- 

 son, report for 1895, Washington, 1896, 

 pp. 639-665.) 



Contains (pp. 655, 660-661) a summary of Fue- 

 gian culture. 



(b) Primitive travel and transporta- 

 tion. (In Rep. U. S. nat. mus. for 

 1894, ibid., 1896, pp. 237-593.) 



Contains references to Fuegian basketry on 

 pp. 482, 48.5; figure 181. 



(c) Aboriginal American harpoons. 

 (Ibid, for 1900, ibid., 1902, pp. 189- 

 304.) 



Contains (pp. 213-214) a description of the Fue- 

 gian haiijoon, based on museum material. Plate 

 2 and figure 12. 



(d) Aboriginal American basketry. 

 (Ibid, for 1902, ibid., 1904, pp. 171-

Contains references to Fuegian basketry on 

 pp. 245, 247-248, 379-380, 497, 526, 532, 538. 



The last three papers are valuable for compari- 

 son of Fuegian with other American harpoons 

 and half-hitch basketry and netting. Besides 

 the simple weave described by the author, there 

 are two other weaves in Fuegia, the one appar- 

 ently a half-hitch and wi-apped or knotted coiled 

 (illustration in Ilyades, h, p. 517, and q, plate 

 xxxn, figure 8), the other a cmde woven variety 

 (illustration in Outes, d, p. 138; cf. also Hyades, q, 

 p. 303, under t<;aouanouch).

■Voyages of discovery in the Arctic 

 and Antarctic seas and round the 

 world, 2 vols., London, 1884. 



Contains (i, 300-30(j, 311, 318-322) a good deal 

 of first-hand information on the culture of the 

 Yahgans of Hermite Island, with whom the 

 author had considerable contact in Sept.-Oct., 

 1842, while with the Ross expedition. 



Medina, Jose Toribio 



(a) Los aborijenes de Chile, Santiago, 

 1882. 



This classic, though treating chiefly Arau- 

 canian anthropology, sums up or quotes literally 

 almost all the Chonoan material contained in the 

 earlier sources, especially Ercilla, Goicueta, 

 Pietas, Lozano, BjTon, a, Gonzalez de Agiieros, 

 Olivares, Resales, a, b, Garcia, a, and P^rez 

 Garcia. Discussion of data and criticism of 

 sources are usually lacking. On p. 108 are given 

 the measurements of three incomplete skulls — 

 one Fuegian and two Chonoan (one from the 

 Chonos Archipelago and one from Puerto 

 Americano); illustrations nos. 228-230. 



(6) Coleccion de documentos inedi- 

 tos para la historia de Chile ... 29

Vol. I contains a Spanish translation of the 

 Epistle of Maximilianus Transylvanus.

(d) Biblioteca hispano - americana 



(1493-1810), 7 vols., ibid., 1898-1907. 



The last two works contain valuable biblio- 

 graphical data on the earlier sources, especially 

 the Spanish, for Fuegian and Chonoan anthro- 

 pology. Vol. I of the Bibl. hisp.-chil. contains 

 Father Ponce de Leon's Descripcion in full.
