TUMIRIQUIRI, a mountain of theCaraccas, in the pro¬ 
vince of Cumana, near Cumanacoa. Here an enormous 
wall of rock rises out of the forest, and is joined on the west 
by the Cerro de Cuchivano, where the chain is broken by 
an enormous ravine more than 900 feet in width, filled with 
trees, whose branches are completely interlaced with each 
other. The Rio Juagua traverses this crevice, which is the 
abode of the jaguar, or American tiger, of a very formidable 
size, being six feet in length. They carry off the horses 
and cattle in the night from the neighbouring farms, and are 
as much dreaded as the most ferocious of the feline race are 
in the East Indies. Two immense caverns open into this 
precipice, from which flames occasionally rush out that may 
be seen in the night at a great distance. 
The round summit of the Tumiriquiri is covered with turf, 
and is elevated more than 4400 feet above the ocean. This 
elevation gradually diminishes towards the west by a ridge 
of steep rocks, and is interrupted at the distance of a mile 
by an immense crevice, which descends towards the gulf of 
Cariaco. Beyond this two enormous peaks arise, the north¬ 
ernmost of which, named the Cucurucho of Tumiriquiri, is 
more than 6500 feet in height, surpassing that of the Brigan- 
tin, with which it is connected.
