Senhor Angelo's feitor, who, as above stated, accompanied me into 
the forest, I found to be a very intelligent person. He had lived

the mouth of the Cuminá. The names and positions of all these 
lakes were confirmed by our pilot, who had also had frequent oppor- 
tunities of becoming acquainted with them.
