 Brinton, c, 327, 329. Few of the above writers give grounds for 

 their statements. 



A. Somatology 



The Araucanians are usually described as brachy cephalic, which 

 would make for absence of near relationship to the Fuegians, but 

 fuller studies of the undeformed Araucanian skull are needed before 

 comparative Fuegian-Araucanian cranial studies can be satisfac- 

 torily made. 



B. Language 



There is no lexical resemblance between Araucanian and any of 

 the Fuegian tongues. Admiral Fitz-Roy's short comparative glos- 

 sary (b, 142) proves nothing. Dr. Darapsky believed that he had 

 found a remote morphological resemblance between Yahgan and the 

 '' Meso-Andine " tongues, includmg Araucanian (a, 29-35; h, 287). 

 Sufficient grammatical material for a comparative study of Yahgan 

 and Araucanian is available, but an exhaustive examination still 

 remains to be made. 



C. Culture 



The Chonoan and Fuegian culture is sharply marked off from the 

 Araucanian (cf. e. g., Medina, a; Rosales, a). The Araucanian m aU 

 probability represents a later cultural invasion. It reached to 

 Chiloe and perhaps blended here and in the Chilotan archipelago 

 with a possibly previously estabhshed culture similar to the Chonoan. 

 Some few Araucanian cultural elements passed down the coast into 

 Chonoan and Fuegian territory. 



A thorough investigation of the whole field of possible Fuegian 

 and Ai'aucanian relationship might yield decisive results. Thus far 

 such an investigation has not, to the present ^Titer's knowledge, 

 been made. 



(2) RELATIONS TO PRIMITIVE SOUTH AMERICAN PEOPLES, ANCIENT 



AND MODERN 



Dr. Medina (a, 110-111) was apparently the iirst to identify the 

 Fuegians and Chonoans with the ancient long-headed race who 

 peopled the southern part of South America. The question was
