many of the soldiers died of 

 colds along the side walls of 

 the room were the flags of Co- 

 lombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Ve- 

 nezuela, Pen! and Panamd. The 

 bath was almost a swindling pool, 

 an octagonal tank with bricked 

 edge, entered only from Lianue- 

 la's dressing room, itself a 

 one room brick building. On the 

 north side of the Quint a, near 

 the boundary wall, stands the 

 Kirador, from the second floor

 figures in a story about Kanue- 

 la and a monkey, part of the fe- 

 rocity between the followers of 

 Bolivar and Santander.

 has been planted with eucalyptus , 

 good rich green when old and 

 tall, cloudy bluish green when

 and there, some large otiorhyn- 

 chid weevils, one large scarab, 

 Ancognatha sp. , and a few Epi- 

 lachna sp.

 and walked back along Calle 18 

 to Carrera 7 & where we said 

 goodbye to the Murillos. Then 

 to the Granada to say goodbye 

 to the Goodspeeds, who are leav-

 We waited in the lobby with the 

 Carrolls who were also saying 

 goodbye • The Carrolls invited 

 us to dinner on Saturday and 

 Mrs. Carroll asked Clara to tea 

 on ITednesday. Finally the Good- 

 speeds arrived, the Carrolls
