ABSTRACT

The following alphabetical list is intended to contain every tribe on the main stream of the great river of the Amazons, and on its Peruvian and Ecuadorian tributaries, including all that are mentioned in this volume; and, to that extent, I believe it to be nearly complete. A great number of tribes, inhabiting the “Gran Chacu,” and the banks of the Brazilian rivers, will also be found; and many hundreds which wander along the banks of the Tapajos, Xingu, Tocantins, and other great Brazilian streams, might have been added, had they been connected with the subject of the present volume.
