RECENT ARTICLES BY Dr. Tscuupniı—We have before us a 
series of recent articles composed by the Peruvian traveler, Dr. 
J. J. von Tschudi, who at present employs himself in making 
digests of ethnologic material previously collected. These papers 
are partly of an anthropologic, partly of a topographic or linguis- 
tic import. Among the latter we mention : “ Die geographischen 
Namen in Peru,” eight pages, in Kettler’s Geographic Magazine; 
“Remarks on Lopez’s communication on the tribe of the Calcha- 
qui Indians,” in the Argentine Republic (Zeitsch. f. Ethnologie, 
1885), in which v. Tschudi lays stress upon the total disparity of 
the tribe spoken of with the Kechuas in their language; “ Das 
ma in seinen Beziehungen zum altperuanischen Volksleben ” 
(Zeitschr. f. Ethnologie, 1885, pp. 93—109), a very instructive trea- 
tise, based alike on history and on the author’s own ethnographic 
and local investigation. The extensive terminology of the Indians 
to designate all kinds of young, old, spotted, etc., lamas is o 
peculiar interest to the linguist.—A. S. Gaschet. \ 
SUPPLEMENT TO THE GRAMMAR OF THE CAKCHIQUEL LANGUAGE. 
—Dr. Otto Stoll, a physician of Ziirich, Switzerland, who has 
lived five years among the Indians of Guatemala, has written 
Some important “Supplementary remarks to the grammar of the 
Cakchiquel language, edited by Dr. D. G. Brinton.” This article 
was read before the American Philosophical Society of Philadel- 
phia, February 6, 1885, and printed in its Proceedings. Stoll’s X 
remarks form a series of rectifications and criticisms upon the 
antiquated method followed by the ancient ecclesiastics in writing 
up grammars of the American languages, and the frequent misappli- 
Cations in their terminology. As to the name Cozumelguapan, 
Stoll thinks it is of Nahuatl origin, and quotes the etymology of ee 
uschmann, “ Near the rainbow water.” He may rest assured, 
that only the local ending -pa, -pan is Nahuatl, and that cozumel 
is a Maya word, signifying szallow.—A. S. Gatschet. ee
