nation, called the Baroloos dwelt at the diftance of eight or ten 
days' journey farther to the northward. Reckoning the average 
of a day's journey to be twenty miles, wefhall find the Barokos 
inhabiting the country under the fouthern tropic; and we may 
..conclude, from the following information which Mr. Triiter 
received
