The numerals for “two” and “three,” _puk sak_, _pang sak_, are doubtless the Cuna _pocua_, _pagua_. The Ramas, therefore, belong to the Isthmian tribes, and formed the vanguard of the South American immigration into North America. What time they moved northward and possessed themselves of their small island is unknown, but it was probably after the conquest. Mr. Siebärger writes me: “They were always kept under, even ill-treated, by the Musquito Indians, and are still very submissive and teachable.” The following errata should be noted: P. 69, line 3; for _Nehaunies_ read _Nahaunies_. Pp. 89, 95, 98 and 101, the numbers of the sections should read 7, 8, 9, 10, instead of 5, 6, 7, 8. P. 169, line 17, for _maternal_ read _paternal_. P. 197, for _Morropas_ read _Malabas_. P. 251, line 11, for _Wapiana_ read _Woyawoi_. Transcriber’s Note: the listed errata have been corrected.

Others are clearly due to design.
