(_The Conibos count by twos. Thus, one is_ avícho; _two_, rabói. _Above two, so many twos, as four is_ rabói-rabói; _and six_, rabói-rabói-rabói. _Ten is expressed by spreading both hands, and twenty by bringing fingers and toes together. Thus the Caribs. Decimal numeration is found among all the American aborigines, ancient and modern, juxtaposition usually designating multiplication._)
