boats at Wohmopoh (where there is a portage) we 
remained in camp until Monday morning. 
On 26th we came to the first Carib settlement above 
Timoonie Falls, and shortly after to another on the 
opposite side, called Koratoka (the cock). On 28th we 
passed three more Carib settlements, at one of which 
called Arra-outa (the baboon) the people undertook 
to make cassava for us by the time we came back At 
4 p.m. the same day we first saw the mountains, Akare- 
coo-tepoo and Anakare-ye-tepoo ; and the next day we

the 3rd at 8 p.m, we entered the Urawan. The Cuyuni

seemed filled by rocks, great boulders of granite, 40 or 50 
feet square, with small rills of water running between. 
There is a considerable fall here in rainy weather called
