I faule. Euen so in the language of these simple men, there are many thynges to bee obserued. But let vs nowe returne to the description. In the prouince of Hubabo, are these regi∣ons: Xamana, Canabacoa, Cuhabo, with many other, the names wherof I haue not yet learned. The prouince of Caibabo, con¦teyneth these regions: Magua, and Cacacubana. Thinhabitan∣tes of this region, haue a peculyar language much differinge from the common language of the Iland, and are cauled Ma∣coryxes. There is also an other region cauled Cubana, whose language differeth from the other. Lykewyse the region of Baiohaigua, hath a dyuers toonge. There are also other regi∣ons, as Dahabon, Cybaho, and Manabaho. Catoy is in the myddle of the Ilande. By this runnethe the ryuer Nizaus: And the montaynes cauled Mahaitin, Hazua, and Neibaymao, confine with the same. In the prouince of Bainoa, are the regions of Ma∣guana, Iagohaiucho, Bauruco, Dabaiagua, and Attibuni, so named of the ryuer: Also Caunoa, Buiaici, Dahabonici, Maiaguariti, Atiei, Maccazina, Guahabba, Anniuici, Marien, Guaricco, Amaguei, Xaragua, Yaguana, Azzuei, Iacchi, Honorucco, Diaguo, Camaie, and Neibaimao. In Guaccaierima the last prouince, these regions are conteyned: Mauicarao, Guabagua, Taquenazabo, Nimaca, Bainoa the lesse, Cabaymi, Iamaizi, Manabazao, Zaua¦na, Habacoa, and Ayqueroa.

Andreas Moralis the shyp ma∣ster, at the commaundement of the gouernoure, tempted to searche the caue with the smaulest vessels. He sayth that by certeyne priuie wayes, manye ryuers haue concourse to this caue as it were to a sinke or chanell.

Nowe therfore they suppose that ry¦uers swalowed vp by the holowe places of that stony moun∣tayne, faule into this caue. As the shipmaster entered into the caue his shippe was almost swalowed.
