( 4 ) p. 416." The fortress of (lie Canar" 



Is situated not far from Turche, at an elevation of 9984 (10,640 

 English) feet. I have given a drawing of it in the Vues des Cor- 

 dilleres., PI. xvii. (compare also Ciea, cap. 44, p. i. p. 120). Not 

 far from the Fortaleza del Canar, in the celebrated ravine of the 

 Sun, Inti-Guaycu (in the Quichua or Quechhua language, liuaycco), 

 is the rock on which the natives think they see a representation of 

 the Sun, and of an enigmatical sort of bank or bench, which is called 

 Inga-Chungana (Incachuncana), the Inca's play. I have drawn 

 both. See Vues des Cordilleres, PL xviii. and xix.

( 7 ) p. 418.- " Greeks and Romans slww these contrasts" 

 "If," says Strabo (lib. v. p. 235, Casaub), "the Greeks, in 

 building their cities, sought for a happy result by aiming especially 

 at beauty and solidity, the Romans on the other hand have regarded 

 particularly, objects which the Greeks left unthought of; stone 

 pavements in the streets; aqueducts bringing to the city abundant 

 supplies of water; and provisions for drainage so as to wash away 

 and carry to the Tiber all uncleanliness. , They also paved the roads 

 through the country, so that wagons may transport with ease the 

 goods brought by trading ships."
