Mis. 26- -43 PAPERS RELATING TO ANTHROPOLOGY. THE GUATUSO INDIANS OF COSTA RICA. By DON LEON FERNANDEZ, of San José C. R.* My expedition to the country of the Guatuso Indians resulted happily. We succeeded in penetrating to the very palenques (habitations) of the Indians, who fled to the forest on our approach, having abandoned all their instruments, arms, provisions, and utensils. By following the tracks of the Indians we managed to visit several of their palenques, but it was not possible for us to surprise one of them. Notwithstanding the ferocity and courage with which the Guatusos have been credited, they made no attempt to resist or do us any harm, doubtless because of our numbers, and that they took us at first for huleros (rubber men), who are for them the creatures most abhorred, on account of the depredations which have been committed, children seized and taken to Nicaragua to be sold as slaves, men murdered, women violated, and other cruelties committed which are hardly credible in this age. After many excursions, during which we scoured the borders of the rivers Pataste and La Muerte, the principal affluents of the Rio Frio, both navigable, we encountered a party of Nicaragua huleros, who, practiced in the business, had surprised an Indian and had him tied up to a tree like a beast. After some information was obtained from them, through respect for Señor D. B. A. Shiel, bishop of Costa Rica, who was at the head of the expedition, they offered the Indian for use as a guide in our excursions. Another party of our expedition succeeded, the same day that we met the huleros, in surprising another Indian who was secured after much difficulty and resistance. The two Indians were brought together in our camp, where we treated them in the best manner possible. Giving them clothing and various presents, we made them understand, through the means of the interpreter who accompanied us, that we were not huleros (chiuti) but brothers (tzaca), that we were going to do them all good and deliver them from the attacks of the huleros, and concluded by asking them to take us to the palenques (upola) where their families were, that we might give them the various objects which we showed, especially the knives and * Translation of a portion of a letter written by Don Leon Fernandez, on November 24, 1882, to Dr. J.
