The district of Tarija is a territory full of que-
hradas and craggy mountains, as far as the punas
and lofty plains of Escayache and Tacsora, where
there are two salt lakes. It is composed of four
fertile valleys lying on the skirts of hills, and in
these are found human bones of a prodigious size,
petrified, shin-bones of a yard and a quarter long,
and teeth larger than a fist. In the midst of one of
these valleys is the town of San Bernardo de Tarija,
which is the capital of the province. Its reparti-
miento used to amount to 82,350 dollars, and its
alcavala to 558 dollars per annum. For the settle-
