At the last meeting of the RerliziAnthro-
pological Society Lieutenant Quedonfeldt,
a Glermeas Ober who has lived on EloOnro
Island„ one of the Canary group, deseribed,
a whistling language which id used by
the inhabitants. The, language dope not

&Mods. It OS despribed as ordinary speech.
translated' into articulate -whistling, each
syllable having its own appropriate tone.
The Qconsero uses . both fingers and lips
when whistling, and Lieutenant Queden-
feldt asserts, that be can carry on a conver
setion with a neighbor mile off, who per-
fectly understands all he is. Baying. The
practice is confined to Gomero Inland, and
is quite unknown to the ether islands of the
Archipelago. The adoption of the whist-
ling language is said to be due to the pecu-
liar geological annstrnotion of • Gomez°
Island. It is traversed by numerous gulliee
and deep ravines ruining out in all direc-
tions from the central plateau As they
are not bridged they can' only 'be crossed
with great difficulty. 'Hence a • man living
Within a stone's throw of another in a
straight line has often to go many miles
when he wishes to see, and speak to his
neighbor. This, it is conjectured, led to
the adoption of whiritling as a' uneffsl
means of communication, which has
gradually assumed the proportions ef a '
true substitute for speech. It is described'
as being Anything but impleaeing to the ear.
