200 Berichte und Kommentare Anthropos 92.1997 Conclusions Of the ten narratives Forth considers only one has its provenance in Timor. It features a bird known locally, i. e., by Tetum-speakers, as the berliku (Vroklage 1953/11: 141). The call given by this bird, i. e., kiu kau, kiu kau, reproduced by Vroklage seems to me to differ significantly enough from that of the friarbird to suggest that the berliku is a different species, and as Forth remarks, whereas the berliku is reported to be a small bird, the friarbird, being about the size of a pigeon, is not especially small. For the record, my Timorese informants told me that the berliku is a very small bird with a forked tail - decidedly different from the friarbird (Pinto personal communication 1996). In Raphael das Dores’s dictionary (1907: 93) it is identified as a nightingale, and Morris (1984: 13) identifies it as a willy wagtail. On the other hand, despite it not having a tail that is particularly forked, Gregory Forth (personal communication 1996) suggests this bird is very probably a kind of whistler (Pachycephala sp.), which would make it correspond to the Manggarai kiong or forest whistler (P. nudigula), though possibly not the nudigula species. In the Vroklage narrative the berliku s antagonist is the crow, a species known in Tetum as ka’o, and during the course of my fieldwork in Timor I collected a text in which crow and friarbird contest the lengths of day and night. In due course I hope to publish it; but I anticipate the narrative’s existence here in order to draw attention to the singularity of the berliku’s presence in these avian narratives of confrontation that Forth has collated meticulously and explained cogently.

Yinko Paletin’s Discovery of the New World Aleksandar Boskovic Introduction Ignacio Bernal’s (1962) impressive annotated bib liography of the research in Mesoamerica between 1514 and 1960, completely omits works published in the territory of the former Yugoslavia - in particular, articles and books in Croatian, Serbian, and Slovenian. This should be attributed mostly to the relative inaccessibility of these languages to the scholars engaged in Middle American research, especially regarding the pre-Columbian cultures. People who have working knowledge of these languages are mostly engaged in the linguistics, history, or Old World (especially Neolithic and late Roman) archaeology. They appear to have been much less interested in anthropology and ethnology, the disciplines that produced most of the research in this area in this century. Naturally, a short paper could not remedy this great disproportion. What I intend to do is to present a rather brief overview of the works deal ing with the pre-Columbian in Middle America in Serbian, Croatian, and Slovenian, and then con centrate on one of the participants of the conquest of Yucatán, Vinko Paletin. An Overview of Research The first series of articles dealing with the Middle American Indians in Croatian appeared in four consecutive issues of the Catholic Journal 1 (Ka- tolicki list) in Zagreb in 1885 under the same title, “Bartolomé de Las Casas and the Indians’ Struggle for Freedom” (Jambrusic 1885). These articles introduced the great discussions of the Las Casas and Ginés de Sepúlveda in the mid-1500s to the general public in Croatia. It is interesting to note that this appears while Croatia is still part of the Austro-Hungarian kingdom, and while the Croatian nationalism is on the rise. In that context, introducing the discussions that were dealing with the human rights of the conquered populations of other continents and ethnic backgrounds does seem 1 I will translate the names of the journals and other publica tions, as well as the titles of the contributions, throughout the paper, giving the original title right after the translated one in the parentheses.
