Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of South American Indians, Vol. 7: Index With the publication of the index volume, the Handbook of South American Indians is complete. This detailed subject index includes tribal names and variants (in italic); the titles of papers listed under subjects, key words, and authors; and entries on animals and plants, geographical names, linguistics, ethnology, archeology, historical events and personages, and missions and religious orders. Information on climatic conditions is often given in geographical sections of the papers. From the beginning it was realized that an index would be necessary to make easily available the vast amount of detailed material contained in the Handbook. The rather long delay in its appearance has been due to the fact that extra funds were not available after the publication of the scientific portion Of the text, and the costs had to be met from the regular printing allotments of the Bureau of American Ethnology.
