 Admiral Fitz-Roy, b, p. 174). 



Rivet, Paul 



La race de Lagoa-Santa chez les 

 populations precolombiennes de I'E- 

 quateur. (In Bull, et mem. Soc. 

 d'anthr. de Paris, 1908, 5th ser., vol. 

 IX, fasc. 2, pp. 209-271; also separate 

 reprint.) 



Contains some important material on the 

 somatologieal relations of the Fuegians. See 

 especially pp. 241, 2.33-258, 204-208. Dr. Rivet's 

 conclusions are: The Yahgans and Alaealuf are 

 fundamentally identical with the Lagoa Santa 

 race, although there has been an infusion of some 

 other element; the Onas are apparently of mi.xed 

 Tehuelche and Yahgan-Alacaluf blood. Dr. 

 Rivet restudied the three Ona skulls at Paris 

 which Dr. Hultkrantz described (6).

Rosales, Diego de — Continued 



cuiia Mackenna, 3 vols., Valparaiso, 



1877-78. 



Contains passim a good deal of valuable mate- 

 rial on Chonoan cultvu-e. See i, 33, 105, 151, 157, 

 173-176, 293, 305, and n, 144. The section on 

 navigation (pp. 173-170) is especially good Cf. 

 also the accomits of the Ulloa expedition in 15.53 

 (I, 33-34, 474) and of the 1041 expedition, which 

 Father Jeronimo de Montemayor accompanied 

 (1, 105-100). 



The latter expedition went by sea toward the 

 province of Allana and encountered some In- 

 dians. The exact place is hard to identify. 

 Father Rosales mentions in connection with the 

 meeting the "P. de los Pabellones" and the 

 province of "Pucaqui." I have been unable to 

 locate any of the above geographical names on 

 any of the accessible early maps of the southern 

 archipelagos and could obtain only fragmentary 

 data from written sources. Ascasubi says (pp. 

 315-316) that the mission of the Chonos founded 

 by Father Venegas is composed of "varias par- 

 cialidades de indios que se descubrieron en Guai- 

 tecas, Chauranmapu y Alana, islas que demoran 

 al sur de Chiloe, en la altura de 45g=." Moraleda 

 identifies Chayamapu with Aisen Inlet and says 

 that it is the name the natives call the islands and 

 mainland east of Moraleda Channel to distin- 

 guish this district from the Guaitecas Archipelago 

 to the west (pp. 323, .332). If, therefore, Chaya- 

 mapu was a district and not an island and ex- 

 tended much beyond the Guaitecas Islands, 

 Ascasul;)i must have been writing inaccurately 

 or else had in mind the whole southern archi- 

 pelagos; and Alana, too, may have been an island 

 or district much farther south than the Guaitecas 

 Islands. Moreover, as he includes Cailin and 

 Chaulinec in the Chonos mission it is possible 

 that Alana meant the Gulf of Penas region, from 

 which many of the natives at Cailin and Chau- 

 linec in the second half of the eighteenth century 

 had been brought. 



It is just in this region that de Vea appears 

 to put the "tierra de allana." Coming down 

 from the Isthmus of Ofqui he came upon an 

 island, now S. Xavier Island, in the eastern part 

 of the Gulf of Penas near the mainland, "que le 

 puse por nombre San Esteban, que corre N.-S., 

 con la tierra de allana y la tierra firme de barlo- 

 vento" (p. 573). 



Finally, Gallardo i Andrade seems to call the 

 island of S. Xavier by the name of Pucaqui 

 (p. 532; cf. also Machado, p. 65. A '' River of the 

 Giants" is marked on some of the maps posterior 

 to 1641 as situated well south of Taitao Penin- 

 sula). 



The above evidence is not very convincing 

 proof of anything, but what there is seems to be 

 convergent enough to establish a good presump- 

 tion that the 1641 expedition encountered the 

 Indians mentioned above in the Gulf of Penas 

 region. These natives were reported to be of 

 gigantic stature and to have fought with clubs 

 and stones. They were niclcnamed " Gabiotas," 

 that is, "gulls," by the members of the expedi- 

 tion, on account of a fancied resemblance of their
