Or Mallicolla. Some of our people pronounced it Manicolo or Manicola,
and thus it is also written in Quiros’s Memorial, as printed by
Dalrymple, vol. ii. p. 146.

Footnote 3:

The particular manner of applying the wrapper may be seen in Wafer’s
Voyage, who mentions this singular custom as existing, though with
some little variation, amongst the Indians of the Isthmus of Darien.

Footnote 7:

The word Survey is not here to be understood in its literal sense.
Surveying a place, according to my idea, is taking a geometrical plan
of it, in which every place is to have its true situation, which
cannot be done in a work of this nature.

Wafer met with Indians in the isthmus of Darien of the colour of a
white horse. See his _Description of the Isthmus_, p. 134. See also
Mr. de Paw’s Philosophical Inquiries concerning the Americans, where
several other instances of this remarkable whiteness are mentioned,
and the causes of it attempted to be explained.

Footnote 19:

See Don Antonio d’Ulloa’s Book, vol. ii. chap. 3. page 95 to 102,
where there is a very particular account of this island.

Footnote 20:

Ulloa says, that the chart places this island sixty leagues from the
coast of Brazil; and that the Portuguese pilots, who often make the
voyage, judge it to be eighty leagues; but, by taking the mean between
the two opinions, the distance may be fixed at seventy leagues.

Footnote 21:

It may be easily perceived, that notwithstanding some words are
entirely different, the first five Indian languages are radically the
same; though the distance from Easter Island to New Zealand is upwards
of fifteen hundred leagues. The principal difference consists in the
mode of pronunciation, which in Easter Island, Amsterdam, and New
Zealand, is more harsh, or guttural, than at the Marquesas Isles, or
Otaheite. The other three differ totally, not only from the preceding,
but from each other; which is more extraordinary than the agreement of
the others, as from Malicollo to Tanna, you never lose sight of land,
nor is New Caledonia at a great distance from the last place. In the
language of Malicollo, a great number of harsh labial sounds prevail,
very difficult to be represented in writing. At Tanna the
pronunciation is likewise harsh, but rather guttural, and the
inhabitants of New Caledonia have many nasal sounds, or snivel much in
speaking. It may, however, be observed, that in the three last
languages, some words are found, which seem to have a distant
resemblance to those that go before; as Brr_oo_as in Malicollo, and
´B_oo_ga, or Boogas, in Tanna, both signifying a hog, which at
Otaheite, and the Marquesas, is expressed by the word ´Böa, and at
Amsterdam by B_oo_´acka. Yet, whether these may not have been
accidentally introduced, is hard to determine; because they frequently
use two words to express the same thing; as, for instance, in New
Caledonia, they call a star both P_ee_j_oo_ and Fy’fat_oo_: the first
seems most consonant to the general composition of their language,
whereas the second differs very little from E’f_ai_t_oo_ or Whett_oo_,
the name of a star at Otaheite. When they mention puncturation, it is
commonly called Gan, Gan,galang; but sometimes they say Tata’tou,
which is almost the same as Ta’t_ou_, used to express the same thing
at Otaheite and Amsterdam.

Footnote 22:

The letters in italic, as _oo_, _ee_, &c. are to be sounded as one.
Those with this ¨ as öe, &c. separately. The accent at the beginning
of a word, signifies the chief stress in pronunciation is to be laid
there: if over it, at any other part, the stress is laid on that part
immediately following. A comma in the middle of a word, either
signifies, that it is compounded of two; or, that the same syllables
repeated, make the word; in both which cases, a small stop, or pause,
must be made in pronouncing it.
