All the inhabitants, with the exception
OF few OF the best families OF the Island
OF Gomcra, one OF the Canary group, are
able to carry on simple conversation by
the aid of whistling, and over distances
at which spoken words could not be
heard. The whistled language does not
consist OF preconccrted signs and sounds,
but every single syllable has its own pc
culiar note. The whistling is formed by
the lips and tongue, or, as in our country,
with the help Of one or two fingers. A
German officer, who has been long in the
island, attributes this practice to the pc
culisr configuration OF the island, which
is broken up into deep chasms, so that
near neighbors have to go miles out Of
their way to visit each other to have a
talk together; this, he says, drove them
to adopt whistiing as a mode OF convey
ing their thoughts. The practice is con-
fined to this one island, being quite un-
known in the other islands of the a'chi.
