he _Mawakwa_, or Frog Indians--a tribe that flattens the head. The _Piano-ghotto_; of which the _Zaramata_ and _Drio_ are sections. The _Tiveri-ghotto_. 2. _The Warow_, _Waraw_, _Warau_, or _Guarauno_.--These are the Indians of the Delta of the Orinoco, and the parts between that river and the Pomaroon. Their language is peculiar, but by no means without miscellaneous affinities. They are the fluviatile boatmen of South America. Their habit of taking up their residence in trees when the ground is flooded, has given both early and late writers an opportunity of enlarging upon their semi-arboreal habits. 3. _The Wapisianas_ fall into-- _a._ The _Wapisianas_ Proper-- _b._ The _Atorai_, of which the _Taurai_, or _Dauri_ (the same word under another form), and the extinct, or nearly extinct, _Amaripas_ are divisions. _c._ The _Parauana_. 4. The _Tarumas_, on the Upper Essequibo, have their probable affinities with the uninvestigated tribes of Central South America. The Indians of Trinidad are Carib. So are those of St. Vincents. In no other West Indian islands are there any aborigines extant. FOOTNOTES: [71] _Dinni_, _tinni_, _din_, _tin_, &c.=_man_ in the Athabaskan tongues. [72] Called also _Carriers_, _Nagail_, and _Chin Indians_; though whether the last two names are correct is uncertain. [73] By no means to be confounded with the _Chepewyans_.
