That part which is inuironed by the riuers of Pi∣astle, and Saint Sebastian, is called Couliacan. The Metropolitane towne is Couliacan, whereas the Spaniards haue planted the Colonie of Saint Mi••hael.

Francis Coronado came to Sibole by the com∣maundement of Antonie de Mendoza in the yeare 1579, but finding small profit, retur∣ned with his souldiers to Mexico.
