The vocabularies of the Guachis, Guatos and Carajas are from the
collections of Castelnau (_Expédition_, Tome V., Appendix); that of the
Araucanian from Febres’ _Diccionario_.
The Guachis are classed as belonging to the Guaranis (Tupi stock), and by
tradition came from the west (see _anté_, p. 233). A comparison with the
Samucu vocabulary (page 359) seems to me to suggest several resemblances
which would be worth further study on more extended material.
The Guatos may be a mixed off-shoot of the Tapuya stock, as has been
suggested (_anté_, p. 318). Of the Caraja, we must await the publication
of the abundant material collected by Dr. Paul Ehrenreich.
PATAGONIAN AND FUEGIAN STOCKS.
