remarkably distributed ’ and it rests upon the principle of not 
multiplying causes unnecessarily, rather than upon any spe- 
cial evidence. In one respect indeed, there is an accredited 
fact against it. The Chiriguanos are said to have been pressed 
forward into their present locality by the Spanish conquest — 
a fact, however, of which the evidence is very unsatisfactory, 
and one which does not apply to the Guarayos. I repeat the 
statement that the present notice goes no further than the in- 
dication of the primd facie probabilities of the question, and 
that it merely points out the most promising line of criticism, 
a line which has yet to be worked out. 
But there is a point of detail which may well find its place 
here. The languages which have hitherto been placed in the 
Guarani class are languages of which the Guarani character 
has long been admitted. Of new additions no notice has 
been taken ; yet one such new addition can probably be made 
— one, and perhaps more. 
Into the details of a language spoken to the south of the 
Amazons, and to the east of the Madeira, the language of the 
Mundrucu Indians, I have gone no further than the short 
list of Balbi^s ^ Atlas Ethnographique.^ However, the inspec- 
tion of this is sufficient to show that it is more Guarani than 
aught else. — e, g.
