The practice is confined to Gomero IaIaod and is guise unknown in the other islands of the Arehipelago. The adoption of the whistling language is said to be due to the peouliar geological construction of Gomers Imbed.

Thie, it is conjectured led to the adoption of whistling as a useful means of communi- cation, which has gradually assumed the proportions of a true ,substitute for tspeeeb.

This reminds one of the drum language of the natives of the Cameroons, mentioned in Buchholz's book on the West of Africa, by means of whioh the most complicated mes- sages oan be conveyed to villages at a dis- tance when occasions necessitate it.
