The interesting group of the Tacana stock is illustrated above by three
of its dialects. I regret that the recent publication on the Arauna by
Rev. Nicolas Armentia (_Navegacion del Rio Madre de Dios_) has not been
accessible to me.
The scanty vocabulary of the Araua does not permit any extended study of
its relations.
I call attention to the numerals of the Sapibocona and Cayubaba as
given above and on page 360. Prof. Fr. Müller has transposed the two in
his lists of examples (_Sprachwissenschaft_, II., I., p. 438. Compare
_Mithridates_, III., p. 576).
