If this view be tenable, the uascM of Mundrncu simply = 
light, and its difference in form from the Guarani words is ex« 
plained. So is its similarity to the name uasMat — moon. 
The Coretu , — It by no means follows that because two lan- 
guages have the same name they are identical ; on the con- 
trary, they may be widely different^ — a point which has already 
been noticed. Now the ^ Atlas Ethnologique ^ of Balbi gives 
us a short Coretu vocabulary which is not the Coretu of Mr. 
Wallace.

In these two lists the only two similar words are the names 
for sun. Hence, the phenomenon illustrated by the name Ba- 
niwa is repeated in the case of the word Coretu. 
Upon the Cobeu and Tucano, no facts beyond those that lie 
in the tables themselves are known. 
With the exception of the Lingoa Geral, Mr. Wallace’s vo- 
cabularies represent languages hitherto unknown. What is 
their geographical relation to the known ones ? 
It is only through the northern tongues (the Baniwa of 
Javita and the Tomo) that we even approach the areas of any 
CoEETU {Balbi).
