P. 123. SUPPOSED CONNECTION OF SONORAN LANGUAGES WITH THE MAYA STOCK. In his _Etudes Aztèques_, published in the _Museon_, 1890, p. 506, M. W. Baligny endeavors to show a connection between the vocabularies of Sonoran languages and the Maya dialects. His strong points are some of the numerals and the personal pronouns of the first and second person. I have elsewhere given good reasons for not depending on these pronominal analogies in American languages (see _Essays of an Americanist_, p. 396). And as to the numerals, “dont la ressemblance est évidente” (according to him), when the Sonoran tongues disagree with the Nahuatl, they have almost always clearly borrowed from the Yuma stem, as in “two,” _guoca_, _kuak_ (see _Vocabs._, _anté_, pp. 335, 336). P. 163. LANGUAGE OF THE RAMAS. Since my negative observations about the Ramas were in type, I have received a short vocabulary of their language from the Rev. W. Siebärger, Moravian missionary on the Musquito coast. The orthography is German. _Rama._ Man, nikikna, Woman, kuma, Sun, nunik, Moon, tukan, Fire, abung, Water, sii, Head, kiing, Eye, up, Ear, kuka, Mouth, kaka, Nose, taik. Tongue, kup. Tooth, siik. Hand, kuik. Foot, kaat. House, knu. 1, saiming. 2, puk sak. 3, pang sak. 4, kun kun beiso. 5, kwik astar. My informant writes me that the Ramas are about 250 in number, and are all Christians and able to speak and write English, except a few very old persons. Their language will probably be extinct in a few years. They are confined to their island in Blewfield Lagoon. It is particularly interesting, therefore, to fix their affinities before the opportunity passes. From the above vocabulary I think there is little doubt but that they are a branch of the Changuina or Dorasque stock, described pp. 174, 175. The following words attest this, the Changuina forms being from A. L. Pinart’s _Vocabulario Castellano-Dorasque, Dialectos Chumulu, Gualaca y Changuina_ (Paris, 1890): _Rama._ _Changuina._ Sun, nunik, kĕlik u. Fire, abung, kebug-al (fire-brand). Water, sii, si. Head, kiing, kin-unuma. Ear, kuka, kuga. Mouth, kaka, kaga. Nose, taik, θakai. Tongue, kup, kuba. Tooth, siik, su. Hand, kuik, kula. House, knu, ku.
