LIST OF THE ENGRAVINGS. 
Capitao Pay : Chieftain of the Cayowa 
Indians. 
TFe old chief, who, together with his 
tribe, more than forty years ago left the 
forests on the Ivinheima and Igiiatemy, 
to play more or less the part of a media- 
tised prince in the Aldeamento de San 
Ignacio on the Paranapanema, is to the 
present day a prototype of the good- 
natured sly Guarani. The preponderance 
of the well-armed settlers, always ready 
for deeds of violence and drawing 
nearer and nearer his native woods, 
and perhaps vague reminiscences and 
tales of the paternal government of the 
Jesuits, will have brought him to the 
conviction that it is better to live under 
the protection of the Pae-guassu (that is 
the Emperor) than to be annihilated in a 
hopeless resistance. 
Capitao Yki Bang : Chief of the 
COEOADOS. 
A striking contrast to the last is the 
chief of the Coroados, living in another 
Aldeamento, that of S. Jeronimo, Only 
after hard fightmg, and when he saw that 
there really was no help for it, did he 
submit to the white man ; and even now 
his fidelity is not always to be relied on. 
The following is a characteristic illustration 
of his supercilious pride. I once showed 
him my revolver, and explained that in a 
short time I could fire six shots with it. 
Well knowing the style of the braggart, 
who had some time before assured me, 
pointing to a round mark on his forehead, 
that the ball which had caused it had 
come out at the back of his head, I fully 
expected he would not exhibit any sign of 
surprise; but I was almost taken aback 
when, bestowing a contemptuous sidelook 
at the weapon, and repeatedly mimicking 
my “pilf ! paff! ” he gave me to under- 
stand that he could far more rapidly 
dispatch a greater number of whizzing, 
never-erring arrows ! 
Vignette ; Means of civilising the 
Indians used by the Company of 
Jesus.
