Miscellaneous Lists. The following lists are added here chiefly as a means of comparison. Some of them have not as yet been satisfactorily classifled by linguis- tic aflinity. One or two of the dialects belong to that part of South America near the Isthmus of Panama, but are given because it appears that the tribes speaking them u.sed the “native calendar.” The localities where they are spoken are given in connection with the names of the dialects. 1!» ETII, PT 2 23
