| 7014 | When two persons meet in the morning, the first questions they address to each other are: How did you find the zancudos during the night? |
| 7014 | Why did we find no river white near its springs, and black in the lower part of its course? |
| 7014 | Why do so many naked natives paint only the face, though living in the neighbourhood of those who paint the whole body? |
| 7014 | Why does it not fill that vast space that reaches as far as the Cordillera of the coast, and which is fertilized by numerous rivers? |
| 7014 | Why does not the great forest of the Orinoco extend to the north, on the left bank of that river? |
| 7014 | Why may there not be an alluvial auriferous soil to the east of the Cordilleras, as there is to the west, in the Sonoro, at Choco, and at Barbacoas? |
| 7014 | of this commencement and duration of the rainy seasons? |
| 7014 | of this continual condensation of the vapours into water? |
| 7014 | of this interruption of the breezes? |
| 7014 | or did they come from the south by the Rio Topayos, which descends from the vast table- land of the Campos Parecis? |
| 7014 | or have these walls of rock, these turrets of granite, been upheaved by the elastic forces that still act in the interior of our planet? |
| 7014 | or may this carex be perhaps a cyperaceous plant* destitute of knots? |
| 7014 | or must we admit that they go up from the sea against the current, as the beluga sometimes does in the rivers of Asia? |
| 7014 | or must we seek for it in an idiom of Florida, which some traditions indicate as the first country of the Caribs?) |
| 7014 | than that of the orang- otang, given rise to the fable of the salvaje? |
