UAEIiAIJ J Il'A - Narranjita River (not on chart) is on south 
side of Samana Bay about miles west of San Lorenzo Bay, and 
just east (next hay) of the Parranja Arriba River, (which is marked 
on chart) a cave or rather rock shelter lies inside mouth of river 
about 300 yards inside the entrance, and on right coming in - a 
confused quantity of Indian bones and broken pottery lie in a crack 
in floor of this rock shelter. Evidently tumbled about and disturbed 
by treasure seekers (?). It would be worth digging out this to see 
if any undisturbed burials are deeper in crevice. 
Another cave is (on mainland) several miles east of this much 
nearer (maybe half way) mouth of Baracoba River - cave is marked by 
whitish patches on cliffs. Phis v/as not visited.

eastern Cihao.
