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. It is traversed by numerous gullies
and deep ravines running out in all direotions
from the central plateau. As they are not
bridged, they can only be crossed with,
greaa difficeslty ; hence a man living within
has often to go roend many miles evhen he
wishes to see and speak to his neighbor.
Thie, it is conjectured led to the adoption
of whistling as a useful means of communi-

proportions of a true ,substitute for tspeeeb.
It is described as being anything but un -
