put my mules in his pasture as long as I liked. I col- 

 lected in this vicinity until May i6th, moving about along 

 the roads towards Chulumani. We met with success as far

 efforts in his behalf, he agreed to go with me at once. 



After seeking advice, I decided to visit a district some

 visions to answer for several days' luncheons on the road, 

 in addition to our general outfit, we started on our long 

 walk on the morning of July i5th, our object being the 

 settlement of Cocapata. 



For an hour we climbed the road to the level pampa, 

 after which we travelled for several days over a treeless
