BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 



Journey from Oeiras, through Cachias, to San Luis, the Capi- 

 tal of MaranhSo ; (from the Travels of Dr. VonMabtius). 



The hospitable inhabitants of Oeiras strove to show their 

 kindness by presenting us with such stores of provision, 

 that twice our number of mules would have been requisite to 

 carry away the stock of fresh and salted provisions that was 

 bestowed upon us. Such is the abundance of cattle in this 

 country, that a custom prevails of leading a fine ox to the 

 door of the stranger, and there offering him as large or as 

 small a share of the animal as he will accept.
