 written by Dr. Alberto Graf Marin, Head of the Oficina de Enlace Agricola in Sant- 

 iago, and kindly put at my disposal (see Bibliography). Dr. Graf Marin visited Masa- 

 tierra in January 1944 in order to inform himself of the economic situation of the 

 population, 452 persons in 1943, a figure very different from the one quoted by Guzmiin
