Origin of the Name Botocudo.--Stature.--Physical Form and Characteristics.--Manner of Wearing Hair.--Lip and Ear Ornaments.--Professor Wyman's Description of Skull of Botocudo from Sao Matheos.--Comparison with other described Botocudo Skulls.--Color of Botocudo.---Manner of Painting the Body.--Dislike to being clothed.---Bows and Arrows described.--Gerber's Enumeration of the Tribes.--Von Tschudi's Description of the Tribes.--Ranchos and Huts.--Pood.--Mode of procuring Eire.--Manufactures.-- Marriage Customs.--The Botocudos cruel Husbands.--Facility with which Wounds heal.--Treatment of Children.--Religious Ideas.--Belief in the Bad Spirit, Janchon.--No Belief in a Supreme God.--Burial Customs.--War Customs.--Cannibalism.--Dance.--The Botocudos fast disappearing.--Botocudo Character.--Geographical Distribution of the Botocudos.--Peculiarities of their Language, Pronunciation, Grammatical Structure, &c.--Botocudo Vocabularies. No Indian tribe of Brazil save the Tupis has been more celebrated than that known as the Aimores, Aimbores, or Botocudos, the latter being the name by which it is known in Brazil, as well as in most recent works on the country. They call themselves Engeraclcmung a word which I cannot translate. Mung, in Botocudo, means to go, and the termination, Avhich is more likely to be a separate word in the proper name, probably has the same meaning, but I have not been able to find a definition for the remainder of I give Prince Neuwied's orthography. Gerber, also a German, in his Nocoes Geograficos, &c, p. 24, spells the word Endgerelcmung, and he says that Guido Marliere gives it Crackmim. The name Botocudo is spelled by different authors in all possible ways, as, for instance, Botokoudy, Botokude, Bootoocudy, &c. VOL. I....
