Putumayo^ and Zeokeyo dialects of the Sncumbia language. 
This gives ns a third term ; possibly a third philological divi- 
sion — TnpD Guarani^ Sncumbia. Such are the names of the 
languages^ the populations being Tupi^ Guarani^, and Omagna ; 
the Tupi (chiefly) in Brazil^ the Guarani in Paraguay^ the 
Omagua in New Granada. The full details of the Tupi- Gua- 
ranis of the Amazons are somewhat obscure. At the mouth of 
the Tapajos^ and the mouth of the Tocantins^ they are spe- 
cially mentioned^ so they are in the great island of the Tupe- 
nambazes. 
The Napo and Putumayo are the chief rivers that carry us 
along the Tupi- Guarani (Omagua) lines northwards. The 
most important of the southern lines are those of the Ucayale 
and the Huallaga^ rivers, be it observed, of the extreme west ; 
the latter running at the very foot of the Andes. The Coca- 
mas and the Cocamillas occupy the' watershed of these two 
streams for an undetermined distance southwards ; and they 
navigate them with the boldness of the Omaguas. This gives 
us a fourth section — Tupi, Guarani, Omagua, Cocamilla. 
Fifthly and (in the present state of our knowledge) lastly, 
come the Indians of the Peruvian province of Santa Cruz 
de la Sierra, extended, on one side, into the Republic of 
Tarija and the Chaco, and, on another, into the Mission of 
Chiquitos. Three sections of the division have been visited 
and described — a, the Guarayos ; b, the Chiriguanos ; c, and 
the Sirionos. These are described by D’Orbigny in his 
‘ Homme Americain,^ pp. 338-348. 
It is submitted that, in the question as to the original 
habitat and focus of the Guarani family the primd facie evi- 
dence is in favour of the Provinces of Santa Cruz de la Sierra; 
the locality of the Guarayos, Chiriguanos and Sirionos, the 
two latter bearing, probably, the same name in a modified 
form. This view is proposed because the locality in question 
is the only portion of the Guarani occupancy which is com- 
mon to the two great water-systems on which they are so
