GRAMMATICAL SOURCES 



(a) Alacaluf. None extant. Cf. Vargas Ponce, &, 27, and Spe- 

 gazzini, c, comments under names in Author Bibliography. 



(6) Chonos. Estcvan. 



(c) Yahgans. The most important is Th. Biidges,** ;>. Other 

 vahiable grammatical studies based cliiefly on Th. Bridges, q, are 

 Adam* (see also resume of same in Mitre, i, 168-172), Ellis,* Garbe,* 

 and probably Miiller,'^ &. The grammatical material in Hyades, j, 

 and q* 321-332 (cf. also q, 214-218, 335-337), and in Spegazzini, c* 

 (see also resume in Mitre, i, 175-176) and /* (published in fuU in 

 Mitre, i, 179-189), are largely based on information given by the Rev. 

 Mr. Bridges. Some few notes on Yahgan morphologj'" are given in 

 Th. Bridges, Ti, 211-212 and Ic, 236. The earUest published data on 

 Yahgan grammar are, as far as I am aware, those in Despard, h, 698. 



The grammatical notes in Canas P., 384-387, Dabbene, h, 200-201, 

 Darapsky, a, h, and Fernandez are derived from the foregoing sources. 



{d) Onas. A few scattered notes on Ona grammar are available in 

 Cojazzi,* 93-94 (conjugation of verb "to love"), Beauvoir,* h, 4-9 

 and especially passim in frasario 79-104, and C. Gallardo,* 359-393 

 passim. See also Segers, 78-79. On Ona pronunciation, cf. Beau- 

 voir, a, 60, and especially h, 1-4. 



TEXTS 



(a) Alacaluf. Xikora,* catecliism or prayer book (in preparation) .

 tianorum preces, ac formula(m) detestandi peccata;" Estevan,* 

 "Doctrma Christiana . . . y algimas Platicas de los principales 

 Mysteiios." 



(c) Yahgans. The most important ai-e Th. Bridges, m,* St. Luke's 

 gospel; n-,* Acts of the Apostles; o,* St. Jolm's gospel. Dr. Ellis prints 

 a Yahgan letter, and ch. i, 1-13 from the first unpublished draft by 

 the Rev. Th. Biidges of St. Luke. Dr. Platzmann reprints the 

 parable of the sower and the Lord's prayer from Th. Bridges, m.

{d) Onas. Beauvoir, a, 36, Lord's prayer; &,* 77, Lord's prayer and 

 Angelical salutation. The vei-sion of the Lord's prayer in h differs 

 considerably froni that in a.
