BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRIBES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO 



115 



Noort, Olivier van — Continued 



I, 295-305; abstr. in E. C. Drake; in 

 Harris, vol. i, bk. 1, ch. 6; in Kerr, vol. 

 x; inBancarel, vol. ii; in Prevost, xiv; 

 inLaet, bk. 12, Lat. andFr. ed., bk. 13. 



Contains numerous details on the natives, 

 probably Alacaliif, encoimtered in 1599-1(500 on 

 the "Penguin Islands" (Martha and Magdalen 

 Islands) just south of the second narrows toward 

 the eastern end of the Strait of Magellan, and at 

 "Maurice" and "Memnistes" Bays on the 

 southern shore of the western Strait. The natives 

 found on the Penguin Islands, van Noort was 

 told by a captured Indian boy (1st ed., p. 21; 

 Commelin, i, 10; de Brosses. i, 298-299), called 

 themselves Enoo, their land Cossi, the small 

 island they were on Talcke, the larger island 

 Castemme; the boy also spoke of the Kemenetes 

 of Karay, the Keimekas of Karamay and the 

 Karaike of Morine, all medium-sized peoples, and 

 of the Tirimenen giants of the land of Coin. Van 

 Noort also gives four native words: talcke, 

 "ostrich," cassoni, "guanaco" (?), oripoggrc, "a, 

 kind of bird," and compogre, "penguin." 

 Neither the tribal names or other words have 

 been confirmed by later investigators; they are 

 all probably erroneous, with the possible excep- 

 tion of Coin (= Chon?). Cf. however, Furlong, 

 T, p. 185: the western Onas are called Kenenica 

 Chon. 



Nordenskiold, Nils Erland Herbert 



Une contribution a la connaissance 

 de I'anthropogeographie de I'Amerique. 

 (In Jour. Soc. des Americanistes de 

 Paris, 1912, n. s. ix, fasc. 1, pp. 19-25; 

 in Swedish, in Ymer, Stockholm, 1912, 

 XXXII, 181-187.) 



The author calls attention to the interesting 

 resemblances under 13 chief headings between 

 the aboriginal cultures of extreme North America 

 and extreme South America. The facts, he 

 holds, point to the wedging in of a later culture, 

 which has been influenced from Asiatic and 

 Melanesian sources. He agrees to a slight extent 

 with Dr. Graebner's theory. 



Nordenskjold, Nils Otto Gustaf 



(a) Eldslandet. (In Ymer, Stock- 

 holm, 1894, xrv, 203-210.) 



Contains (pp. 208-209) a few imimportant and 

 very brief notes on the three Fuegian tybes. 



(6) Den eldslandska ogruppen. 

 (Ibid., 1896, XVI, 247-258.) 



Contains (p. 255) half a paragraph on the 

 Yahgans and Alacaluf ; not important. 



(c) Das Feuerland und seine Be- 

 wohner. (In Geoqr. ZeiUchr., Leipzig, 

 1896, II, 662-674.) 



Contains (pp. 671-672) brief notes chiefly on 

 the mental capacity and kinship of the Onas. 



Nordenskjold, Nils Otto Gustaf — Contd. 



{d) Reisen im Feuerland. (In Verh. 



Deutsch. wiss. Vereins zu Santiago de 



Chile, Valparaiso, 1897, iii, 433-434.) 



Contains (p. 434) one sentence on the linguistic 



kinship of the Onas with the Tehuelches. 



(e) Algunos datoa sobre la parte 

 austral del continente sud-americano 

 segun estudios hechos por la comision 

 cientffica sueca. (In Actes Soc. scient. 

 du Chili, Santiago, 1897, vii, 157-168.) 



Contains (pp. 163-164, 167-168) remarks oh the 

 relationship of the Onas with the Tehuelches, 

 and a sympathetic account of Ona mentality. 

 The article is, however, chiefly of importance for 

 the Ona vocabulary of 140 words and phrases on 

 pp. 166-167. This valuable vocabulary was 

 gathered chiefly from Father Beauvoir of the 

 Salesian mission at Rio Grande and from Seiior 

 Ramdn Cortes, chief of police in Tierra del 

 Fuego Island.
