The Cuna and the Changuina or Dorasque are from M. Alph. Pinart’s various
publications on these dialects; the Andaqui from the collections of the
Presbyter Albis; and the Tucura, a Choco dialect, from the report of Dr.
A. Ernst (_Zeitschrift für Ethnologie_, 1887, 302). The last mentioned
was obtained on the upper Sinu river, near the junction of the Rio Verde.
It is not of the San Blas (Cuna) family, but clearly Choco.
I have already referred (p. 200) to some slight similarity of the Andaqui
to the Chibcha; but until we have more extensive material of the former,
the question must be left open.
