BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRIBES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO 



135 



Whaits, R. — Continued 



de un trabajo minucioso y esmerado." I have 

 seen no other mention of this valuable manu- 

 script. Mr. Whaits spent many years at the 

 English mission, learned to speak Yahgan very 

 well, and gave considerable aid to the members 

 of the Bove E xpedition in their linguistic studies.

Memoria sobre los trabajos hidro- 

 graficos efectuados en los canales 

 Mayne i Gray. (In An. hidr. vmr. 

 Chile, Valparaiso, 1912, xxvii, 3-26.) 



Contains (pp. 17-18) notes on the Channel 

 Alacaluf met in 1904, and (pp. lS-20) a short 

 vocabulary and comparison of same with Father 

 Beauvoir's Alacaluf list. The vocabulary, con- 

 sisting of 43 words, was gathered by the purser, 

 Senorlriarte, and oneofthepetty officers from two 

 native boys taken aboard at Ultima Speranza 

 Inlet. Allowing for inevitable errors, the vo- 

 cabulary Is clearly Alacalufan, and while by no 

 means as extensive as Dr. Skottsberg's list and 

 perhaps not as exact, is of importance inasmuch 

 as it gives the fust published tangible evidence 

 that the Alacalufan language is spoken by some 

 at least of the Patagonian channel Indians. 



Wieghardt, Jerman 



EI territorio de Magallanes, tomo vi, 

 Indljenas fueguinos i patagones, pri- 

 mera parte, Santiago de Chile, 1896, 

 59 pp. (Reference from Aiu-ique, p. 

 398.) 



This paper, frequently quoted, is probably 

 important, but like Senor Senoret's, seems dilTi- 

 cult to procure. 



Wilda, Johannes 



Amerika-Wanderungen eines 

 Deutschen, 3 vols., Berlin, 1906-7. 



Contains (m, 271-273) an unimportant descrip- 

 tion of a canoe load of Channel Alacaluf met 

 casually in Wide Channel. 



Wilkes, Charles 



(a) Narrative of the United States 

 exploring expedition during the years 

 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842, 5 vols., 

 Philadelphia, 1844; ibid., 1845; same, 

 1850. 



Contains good accounts of the Onas, probably 

 M4nekenkn, observed for a few hours at Good 

 Success Bay (i, 116-118; 1845 ed., I, 113-115) and 

 of the Yahgans studied more at leisure at Orange 

 Harbor and WoUaston Island (i, 125-133, 146-147; 



64028°— Bull. 63—17 10 



Wilkes, Charles — Continued 



1845 ed., I, 121-129, 142). The Yahgan cultural 

 data are especially valuable. Two Ona words of 

 very doubtful value (i, 118; 1845 ed., I, 115). 



(b) Voyage round the world, em- 

 bracing the principal events of the 

 Narrative of the United States explor- 

 ing expedition, in one volume, ibid., 

 1849; New York, 1851; 2 vols., London, 

 1852. 



This work, though written in more popular 

 style, contains (pp. 45-47, 49-53; London ed., 

 I, 40-41, 43-46) the same cultural data, with, how- 

 ever, some slight omissions, as does the complete 

 Narrative. 



The expedition was in Ona and Yahgan terri- 

 tory in Jan.-Feb., 1839. The members saw very 

 little of the Onas, but had considerable contact 

 with the Yahgans, especially at Orange Harbor. 

 For other accounts of the natives observed, see 

 Pickering, Colvocoresses.

(a) and Bousson. See Rousson, a. 

 (6) one? Rousson. See Rousson, b. 



(c) La Terre-de-Feu et ses habi- 

 tants. (In Bull. Soc. de geogr. commer- 

 ciale de Bordeavx, 1892, 2d ser. xv, 

 231-239.) 



Contains practically the same cultural data as 

 do the articles written conjointly with M. 

 Rousson. 



{d) La Patagonie chilienne et la 

 Terre de Feu. (In Bull. Union geogr. 

 du Nord de la France, Douai, 1893, xiv, 

 244-247.) 



Contains about the same cultural data on the 

 Fuegians as does the preceding article. For 

 comments, see Rousson. 



Williams, John 



(a) Letters. (In S. Amer. miss, mag., 

 London, recent numbers.) 



Some of these contain interesting data on the 

 few surviving Yahgans. 



(6) Morning and evening prayer with 

 selected collects, in Yahgan. (Refer- 

 ence from S. Amer. miss, mag., 1911, 

 p. 69.) 



The manuscript of the above had just been 

 sent to London for publication. 



The Rev. Mr. Williams is in charge of the 

 English Mission at Rio Douglas, Navarin Island. 

 According to a notice in the South American 

 missionary magazine (1908, xlii, 153), he has in 

 his possession a manuscript Yahgan dictionary 

 by the Rev. Thomas Bridges, which he is trans- 

 cribing with the aid of natives from the Ellis 

 system into the ordinary English alphabet.
