A ug. 20,18T5. od aabb. OTHE UsTDIAN TRIBES AND LANGUAGES OF COSTA RICA. BY WM. M. GABB. B ead before the American PJ iilosophical Society, August 20, 1875.) Chapter 1. general ethnological notes.

I only make this possible exception in deference to the almost absolute ignorance which yet exists in i-egard to this isolated tribe. Before entering on the consideration of the better known peoples of the southern part of the Republic, it may be as well to make a brief summary of what is known of the Guatusos up to the present time. They occupy a part of the broad plains north and east of the high volcanic chain of North-W estern Costa Rica, and south of the great lake of Nicaragua, especially about the head waters of the Rio Frio. I have fortunately fallen in with various persons who have entered their country, and who have had an opportunity of seeing the people and their mode of life. The stories of some are so evidently exaggerated that I shall suppress them; but by carefully sifting the evidence and giving a due preponderance to the testimony of those whom I consider most reliable, I have arrived at the following results. Thomas Belt, the author of The Naturalist in Nicaragua, says he has seen of them, five children and one large boy, and they all had the common Indian features and hair ;though it struck me that they appeared rather more intelligent than the generality of I ndians. He also says that one little child that Dr. Seeman and I saw in San Carlos in A. p. S. VOL. XIV.
