bulary OF THE YaRURA LAN- 
GUAGE. — By C. S. R. 
The Yarura nation of the Oronoco 
regions, (also called Jarura, Jar os, 
Worrow, Guarau, &c.) is one of the 
darkest and ugliest in South Ameri- 
ca, some tribes of it are quite black 
like negroes and are called monkeys. 
They are widely spread from Guy- 
ana to Choco. The following 35 
words of their language collected 
from Gili, Hervas and Vater, have 
enabled me to trace their origine to 
Africa.

Those marked f °r 7 out of 34 have 
some analogy with the English, equal to 
19 per cent. 
The language of the Gahunas, ne- 
gro s of Choco and Popayan has 56 
per cent analogy with the Yarura, 
since out of 8 words to be compared 
4 are similar.

12, which is the maximum with the 
Asiatic and Polynesic negroes.

It may have happened that the 
Gahunas came from the Papuas 
through the Pacific; but theYaruras 
from the Ashantis through the Atlan- 
tic: yet have been once two branch- 
es of a single black nation.
