I. The jurifdi^llon of Cufco extends two leagues ; 

 the temperature of air is various, but both the heat 

 and cold very fupportable, except in fome parts where 

 the cold is intenfe : thefe, however, afford good pa- 

 flure for all kinds of cattle, whilft the vallies produce 

 plenty of grain and fruits. 



II. The jurifdidion of Quifpicanchi, begins as 

 it were at the fouth gates of Cufco, llretching from 

 E. to W. about twenty leagues. The lands belong 

 in general to the gentry of Cufco, and produce plentv 

 of wheat, maize, and fruits. Here are alio manu- 

 factories of bays, and coarfe woollen (luffs. Part of 

 this province borders on the forefts inhabited by wild 

 Indians, and produces great quantities of Coca, which 

 forms one of the principal branches of its commerce. 



III. Four leagues north-eaft from the cky of 

 Cufco, begins the jurifdidtion of Avancay, and ex- 

 tends above thirty leagues ; the air differing in tem- 

 perature according to the fituation of its parts •, but 

 is in general rather hot than temperate, and, ac- 

 cordingly, many parts of it are taken up with large 

 plantations of canes, which yield a very rich fugar. 

 The lands where the air is more temperate, abound 

 in wheat, maize and fruits, part of which are icnt 

 to the city of Cufco. In this province is the valley 

 Xaquijaguana, corruptly called Xajaguana, where 

 Gonzaio Pizarro was defeated and taken prifoner hj 

 Pedro de la Gafco. 



IV. Paucartambo begins eight leagues caft of 

 Cufco, and is of a confiderable extent. This pro- 

 vince produced in the tin:ie of the Yncas the greateft 

 quantity of Coca, vv-ith v/hich it carried on a very pro- 

 fitable commerce ; but is greatly declined ftnce this 

 fiirub has been planted in other provinces, The foil 



equally fertile in other products,
