ADDENDUM

The Bńdges script referred to troughout the paper is the script created by the Rev. Thomas Bridges for the Yahgan language, also known as Yamana, the main language of Tierra del Fuego. David Diringer, in his invaiuable The Alphabet. A key to the Histow of Mankind [lst ed. London 1948] describes this script in the last chapter, „Conclusion”. In the subseąuent, two-vołume edition of The Alphabet, which I know but have no access to, the Bridges script is given in one of the plates in vol II.

This volume is an excellent introduction to all aspect of Fuegian studies, particuiarly to someone who has no access to Martin Gusinde’s monumental work „Die Feuer-land-Indianer” or morę recent works published in Chile and Argentina. Its bibliography, pp. 186-196, is of special interest, as itcovers all the topics involved, not only linguistics.
