most terrible are the rattle-snake (crotalus horridus) and the urucuc (lachesis mutus, Daudin, or crotalus mutus, Linn.); the latter, particularly that which grows to the length of seven or eight feet, is found in all parts of Brazil. The rattle-snake, called by the Portuguese cobra cascavella, frequents only the high and dry parts; in Minas Gera s and in the interior of the Capitania of Bahia, it is pretty common. From Vi oza we returned to the Mucuri, but did not stop long in the town because

From a tree on the bank we shot the beautiful pigeon, which is called on the east coast pomba troca s, and near Bahia pomba verdadeira; it is the columba speciosa (the scallop-necked pigeon) of naturalists. In the afternoon we reached the last plantation, belonging to Mr. Joao Antonio, where some days before Captain Bento Lourenzo had saluted us with a feu de joie; he had now proceeded, with his people, farther into the forest.

The beautiful dark purple chatterer (ampelis atro-purpurea) was frequent in these forests; the beautiful blue kiru or crejo , (ampelis cotinga, Linn.) which is distinguished by its splendid blue plumage among all the birds of Brazil, was less frequent on the Mucuri, as also a new species of parrot*, c. The incomparable plumage of the kirua is employed by the nuns of Bahia, in making their beautiful flowers composed

to be annually exported to the larger towns on the coast, and to all those places where the plant does not thrive so well. Some of the vessels called lanchas are employed in the carriage of this article, and bring back other necessaries from Bahia. These small vessels ascend to a considerable height up the river, that is, to the plantation of Mr. Munis Cordeiro, one of the principal inhabitants of Alcoba a, whose excellent character has obtained him merited reputation among his countrymen.

rise on the sea-coast, and a large tract of ground was already cleared of the wood. But it seems they did not understand how to keep the negroes in order, for they were in a state of insubordination; they made use of the produce of the plantations for themselves, and often refused to do the work assigned to them; instead of which, they employed themselves in hunting in the surrounding woods, or in catching wild animals in their mundeos. Mr. Frazer was at this time at Bahia, and had left a

The situation of Trancozo is particularly agreeable: from the end of the steep eminence near the church, we had a grand and extensive view of the calm, shining, dark-blue mirror of the ocean; the junction, which was very evidently to be seen, between the green sea water and the dark

which they consume, from Santa Cruz. The convent of St. Bento at Rio has a considerable fazenda in this neighbourhood, which is under the management of a priest. The people of Porto Seguro have the reputation of being good sailors, and as the commercial intercourse with Bahia is very active, there is more frequent opportunity here, than at any other part of the coast, to make a voyage thither. The vessels which are used in this trade, are but small lanchas garupeiras, which sail with great

By a peculiar method they are twisted into ropes, which are very strong and durable in water, but rather rough and unpleasant to the touch; they are sent in considerable quantities to Bahia, where they are used on board the ships.

At high water this large river is rapid, but its entrance is always bad and dangerous, having here and there sand-banks, which we could see now that it was low water, but which, even at high water, are dangerous to navigation, and have already been the destruction of many lanchas. Belmonte has three or four lanchas, by which a little trade is carried on with Bahia in mandiocca-flour, cotton, rice, and timber. The

A flock of twenty or more, such as we saw here, illumined by the bright beams of the sun, perched on a tree of the most brilliant green, is indeed a magnificent sight, which cannot be conceived by those who have not witnessed it.

A kind of fly-catcher (muscicapa) also builds among these rocks, with part of the plumage of a rusty red , which in the Sertam of Bahia is called gibao de couro, or leather jacket. It is found in Minas, and even on the east coast, but more rarely, and every where keeps among the stones, or on the roofs of the houses. Among these rocks on the Belmonte they are often seen sitting on the point of a block, from which they fly perpendicularly upwards after the insects, and then
