This valuable manuscript, now in the Museo 

 Mitre, is described by Gen. Mitre (i, p. 177) as 

 "muy abundante en el Ona y el Yahgan, con 

 algunas f rases de estos dos idiomas, siendo muy 

 breve respecto de los Alacaluf.''

 otros indios americanos. (Tema pre- 

 sentado al Congreso cient. internac.

 gonicas y fueguinas. (Tema presen- 

 tado al mismo Congreso.) (Reference 

 from Dabbene.) 



Dr. Spegazzini accompanied the first Bove ex- 

 pedition as botanist, remaining in Fuegia from 

 May 1 to July 17, 1882; hence he had good oppor- 

 tunities for personal observation of the Yahgans 

 and to a lesser extent of the Onas and Alacaluf. 

 In his linguistic studies, to which he devoted 

 himself "con asiduidad," he was assisted by two 

 very intelligent natives, who had been raised by 

 the missionaries and who spolfe English well, 

 by another native who spoke Spanish, and by 

 Messrs. Bridges and Whaits, who elucidated 

 many difficult points. Dr. Spegazzini has since 

 his return continued his researches in the Fue- 

 gian languages. Wliilc his contributions to 

 Fuegian cultural anthropolog>' are of permanent 

 value, his more important and original contribu- 

 tions are in the linguistic field, especially in 

 Yahgan grammar.
