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.
