lO SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 95 



Between the northeast and [north] west, about 30 leagues distant, 

 on the bank of a large river, is the province of Toassa, of barbarous 

 heathen inhabitants, comprising 14 villages: Toassa, Imocolasa, 

 Atayache, Pacani, Oslibati, Afaschi, Escatana, Atassi, Tubassi, 

 Tiquipachi, Achichepa, Hilapi, Ilantalui, Ichoposi. 



Seventy leagues further on is the great and extensive province of the 

 Chacta which includes 107 villages, and to one side, on the western 

 frontier, on an island near the harbor of Spiritu Santo, is [the 

 province] of Mobile, both these of barbarous heathen ; this being all 

 I have been able to discover, as in spite of having made diligent 

 inquiries I have been unable to find anyone who could give me infor- 

 mation concerning the territories of Penacho and Tanoyo which 

 Marcos Lucio puts on his map supposing them to be in the neighbor- 

 hood of the province of Apalachocoli. However, as he did not go 

 further than the city of Saint Augustine, so distant from these 

 provinces, and wrote only from vague hearsay, he may have erred in 

 the names, and they may have been those of the afore-mentioned 

 provinces of the Chacta and Mobile, for neither does he put on his 

 map the villages of the provinces of Timuqua and Apalache, as Your 

 Majesty will see from the chart I have made and send herewith/ 



COAST OF THE NORTHERN FRONTIER 



Out from Saint Augustine, along the seacoast toward the northern 

 frontier, is the province of Guale, and in it are the following 

 settlements : 



At 2 leagues from the city is the village and mission of La Natividad 

 de Nuestra Senora de Tolmato ; at 10,^ the village and. mission of San 

 Juan del Puerto at the bar of which disembogues the great river Cor- 

 ientes, already mentioned; at 6, the mission and village of Santa 

 Maria ; at 3, San Phelipe ; at 9, Santa Buanaventura de Guadalquini ; 

 at 6, Santo Domingo de Asaho ; at 6, San Joseph de Zapala ; at 2, Santa 

 Catalina. All are settlements of Christian [Indians], and in the last 

 named Your Majesty has an officer with a good garrison of infantry. 



From there it is about 2 leagues to the bar of Asopo, and from there 

 one travels among shoals, bars and rivers " 14 leagues into the province 

 of Escamacu, today subject to the Mico of Cofatache, [where] near the 

 village of Oristan is Saint Helena which was a village of Christians.
