See _Lettres Edifiantes et Curieuses_, Tom. II., p. 111, for his own description of his experiences and studies. [226] See especially his paper “Trois familles linguistiques des bassins de l’Amazone et de l’Orénoque,” in the _Compte-Rendu du Congrès internationale des Américanistes_, 1888, p. 489 _sqq._ [227] Joaquin Acosta, _Compendio Historico de la Nueva Granada_, p. 168. (Paris, 1848.) [228] _Hist. de las Indias Occidentales_, Dec. VII., Cap. XVI. [229] Dr. Max Uhle gives a list of 26 Cuna words, with analogies in the Chibcha and its dialects. (_Compte-Rendu du Cong. Internat. Américanistes_, 1888, p. 485.) Alphonse Pinart, who has published the best material on Cuna, is inclined to regard it as affiliated to the Carib. (_Vocabulario Castellano-Cuna._ Panama, 1882, and Paris, 1890.) [230] A. L. Pinart, _Coleccion de Linguistica y Etnografia Americana_, Tom. IV., p. 17; also the same writer in _Revu d’Ethnographie_, 1887, p. 117, and _Vocabulario Castellano-Dorasque_. Paris, 1890. [231] On the Chocos consult _Zeitschrift für Ethnologie_, 1876, s. 359; Felipe Perez, _Jeografia del Estado del Cauca_, p. 229, sq. (Bogota, 1862.) The vocabulary of _Chami_, collected near Marmato by C. Greiffenstein, and published in _Zeitschrift für Ethnologie_, 1878, p. 135, is Choco. The vocabulary of the Tucuras, given by Dr. Ernst in the _Verhandlungen der Berliner Anthrop. Gesell._, 1887, p. 302, is quite pure Choco. The Chocos call their language _embera bede_, “the speech of men.” [232] “Relacion de las tierras y provincias de la gobernacion de Venezuela (1546),” in Oviedo y Baños, _Historia de Venezuela_, Tom.

[234] “Mas hermosas y agraciadas que las de otros de aquel continente.” This was the opinion of Alonzo de Ojeda, who saw them in 1499 and later. (Navarrete, _Viages_, Tom. III., p. 9). Their lacustrine villages reminded him so much of Venice (Venezia) that he named the country “Venezuela.” [235] According to Lares, the Bobures and Motilones lived adjacent, and to the north of the Timotes. The Motilones were of the Carib stock. See Dr. A. Ernst, in _Zeitschrift für Ethnologie_, 1885, p. 190. [236] Joaquin Acosta, _Compend. Hist. de la Nueva Granada_, p. 31, note.
