vante. On the north*east, the easternmost province of New 

 Grenada, called Provincia del Rio Hacha, is separated by the 

 Rio Enea from the province of Santa Marta. In 1814 the 

 Rio Guaytara divided the province of Popayan from the pre- 

 sidency of Quito, to which belonged the province of Los 

 Pastos. The isthmus of Panama and the province of Vera- 

 gua have at all times been dependent on the Audiency of 

 Santa Fe. 



Peru. In estimating the extent of the present Peru at 

 41,500 square leagues (20 to a degree), the eastern bound- 

 ary is, first, the course of the Rio Javary, from 6° to 

 south latitude ; secondly, the parallel of 9J°, stretching 

 from the Javary towards the left bank of the Rio Madeira, 

 and cutting successively other tributary streams of the Ama- 

 zon, namely, the Jatahy (Hyutahy), the Jurura, the Tefe, 

 which appears to be the Tapy of Acuna, the Coary, and the 

 Puruz ; thirdly, a line which first runs up the Rio Madeira, 

 and then the Mamore, since called the Salto de Theotino, 

 as far as the Rio Maniqui *, between the confluence of 

 the Guapore (Ytonamas of the Jesuits) and the mission 

 of S. Ana, (about 12J° south latitude) ; fourthly, the 

 course of the Maniqui towards the west, and in stretch- 

 ing a line to the Rio Beni, which geographers believ- 

 ed to be a tributary stream, sometimes of the Rio Madei- 

 ra, and sometimes of the Rio Puruz ; fifthly, the right bank 

 of the Rio Tequeari, which flows into the Beni, below the 

 Pueblo de Reyes, and the sources of the Tequieri ; a line 



* See a scarce map of the Missiones de Mqjos de la Com- 

 pania de Jesus, 1713. The Rio Maniqui, to which modern 

 geographers have given so much importance, by the fable 

 of the lake Rogagualo., and the bifurcations of the Beni, 

 join3 the Yacuma, by which Mr. Haenke went from Puehlo 

 de Reyes to the Rio Mamore.
