fessdr Sheouw, just translated, that

a ra$e who, almost like Monkeys, live
upon the trees-whose existence, in
fact, is 10 a great extent bound tx

the Guaraunt, at the mouth of the /
Ori,I oco, who live by and upon the
Mau ritia palm. While the grcunl is

made upon them, and here the G ia
raunf sleep, and pass great port ion
of their lives. The trunk furnis hes
a fer JULIA; the juice, palm-Wine; and
the fruits are well favored, mealy at
first, and afterwards sweet.
