CEARA. 465 



Brazilian steamers make the trip from Pernambuco to Ceard 

 in two days. The nearest serra in which I have observed 

 traces of ancient glaciers is reached from Ceard in one day 

 on horseback. The best season for such a journey would be 

 June and July, at the close of the rainy season, and before 

 the great droughts of the dry season have began."
