BUBEAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



[bull. 63 



Williams, Richard 



Journal. (Extiacts in Hamilton.) 

 Sec comment under Uamilton. 



Wilson, Jolin 



[Somatological notes on the Fuegi- 

 ans.] (In Fitz-Roy, b, pp. 142-149.) 



For comment see Fitz-Roy. Dr. Wilson was 

 surgeon of the Beagle under Admiral Fitz-Roy. 



Winter, Nevin Otto 



Chile and her people of to-day, Bos- 

 ton, 1912. ' 



Contains (pp. 126-127, 142-147) unimportant 

 accounts of the Fuegians, and on p. 143 the state- 

 ment—apparently de rigueur in recent works of 

 this type — that the Fuegians throw their old 

 women and children overboard in dangerous 

 storms. 



Wood, John 



Captain Wood's voyage through the 

 Streights of Magellan, &c. (In Hacke's 

 Collection (q. v.); for repr. and Germ, 

 and Fr. tr., see Dampier; abstr. in Pre- 

 vost, vol. XV.) 



Contains (pp. 81, 84, 87, 97) some notes on the 

 jUacaluf met in 1670 at Elizabeth Island and 

 Port Famine. Wood's descriptions are in agree- 

 ment with those of Narbrough, whom he accom- 

 panied, but are very much briefer. 



Wood, John George 



. The natural history of man, 2 vols., 

 London, 1868-1870; published as The

 tries of the world, 2 vols., Hartford,

 an extensive description of the culture of the 

 Yahgans and Alacaltif, l)ased chiefly on BjTon, 

 W. H. B. Webster, King, Snow. The account 

 is in general good, liut there are some inaccura- 

 cies, and considerable revision would be needed 

 to bring it up to date. 



World displayed, 4th ed., rev., 20 vols., 

 London, 1762-1790. 



Vol. vn gives an abstract of Anson's voyage 

 from Walter's narrative. Cf. Knox.

Xikora, Juan 



Catechism and prayer book (?) in Ala- 

 caluf. (In preparation.) (Reference 

 from Dr. Cojazzi, private communica- 

 tion.) 



Dr. Cojazzi wTites me under date orf Mar. 25, 

 1915, that Brother Xikora is preparing an Ala- 

 caluf translation to serve perhaps as a catechism 

 or prayer liook. Brother Xikora was attached to 

 the Candelaria mission on Tieira del Fuego and 

 can speak Alacaluf, although with a little dith- 

 culty. This work should he of much value and 

 interest, and will lie the first text published in 

 the Alacalufan language.

 1900; 2d ed., revised and enlarged, 

 ibid., 1905. 



Contains (pp. 1-79; 2d ed., pp. 1-S2) a history 

 of the Ushuaia mission, which throws some light 

 on Yahgan character. The author quotes (p. 61; 

 2d ed., p. 66) a letter wTitten under date of Feb. 

 11, 1899, by Mr. Lucas Bridges, which though 

 short gives some valuable information on Onan 

 moral culture. Many excellent photos illustrat- 

 ing types and occupations in 2d ed.

 Vantrop. e Vetnol., Firenze, 1892, xxii,

 and other measurements of 3 Alacaluf of about 

 25, 10-11, and 4-5 years, respectively, and of 

 1 Ona boy of about 6-9 years. When seen by 

 Dr. Zampa they were on their way to the Genoa
