5. The _Guama_, with its dialect, the Quaquaro. 6. The _Guayba_, related to the Chiricoa. 7. The _Jaruri_ (_Yarura_). 8. The _Guaraunos_. 9. The _Aruaca_. This classification can stand as only approximately accurate, but it serves as an excellent starting point. Beginning with the Carib stock, and basing my list on the works of Codazzi and more recent travelers, especially Crévaux, Coudreau and Chaffanjon, I offer the following as the tribes which may be definitely located as its members: CARIB SUB-STOCK IN THE ORINOCO REGION. _Amarizonas_ (_Amarisanes_), near the Rio Guaviare and Rios Etari and Ayrico. _Arecunas_, on head-waters of the Rio Caroni. _Ariguas_, near the Rio Tauca. _Cabiunes_, on the Rio Apoporis. _Carataimas_, on the Rio Cauca. _Chaymas_, on the Rio Guarapiche. _Cucciveros_, on the Rio Cauca. _Cuneguaras_, on the Rio Maturin. _Enaguas_, on the Rio Agua Branca. _Guarives_, on the Rio Uñare. _Maquiritares_, on the Orinoco, near Lake Carida and Rio Ventuari. _Matanos_, on Rio Caura. _Mucos_, on Rio Apoporis. _Panares_, on Rio Caura. _Parecas_, on the lower Orinoco. _Paudacotos_, near the Rio Caura. _Quiri-Quiripas_, on the lower Orinoco. _Quivas_, on the Orinoco near the confluence of the Meta. _Tamanacas_, on lower Orinoco. _Tuapocos_, on the Rio Maturin. _Vayamanos_, on the Rio Paragua. _Yaos_, on the Rio de la Trinidad. _Yocunos_, on the Rio Apoporis. Even when Codazzi collected his material, more than half a century ago, the once powerful Tamanacas had entirely disappeared, and no tribe of the name existed in the region.[399] The process of dissolution and destruction has gone on since his day with increasing rapidity, so that when Chaffanjon visited the Orinoco and Caura in 1884, he found that immense and fertile region almost uninhabited, the ancient tribes scattered and disappeared, or existing only in wretched remnants, _misérables débris_, of their former selves.[400] The opportunity is forever lost, therefore, to define the ethnography of this region by original observation, and we are thrown back on the collections and statements of former observers. The Maquiritares, however, still remain as one of the handsomest peoples on the Orinoco, and remarkable for the skill with which they manufacture canoes sixty or seventy feet long from the trunk of a single tree.[401] On the river Uaupes, an affluent of the Rio Negro M. Coudreau encountered various tribes, such as the Tarianos or Javis and the Nnehengatus, of whose tongues he obtained brief vocabularies. They indicate a distant influence of the Carib stock, especially the latter, but they seem mixed largely with elements from other sources.[402] They dwell adjacent to the Tucanos, to whom I have already referred as assigned by some to the Tapuyas.
