here that the aspect Of the landscape
changes and the great chain Of mount

depression. The great forests OF the

a general term meaning the upper or
better class. and is applied alike TO
all white natives. creoles and mesti-

class. The dark-skinned Ladino will

The Indians of the interior and west
coast differ from those Of the eastern
slope in their attributes as greatly as
do the varying aspects of the country
While the Mosquito and other tribes
all more or less related. are a dark
brown, bushy-haired people, who have
made no progress in the arts Of civil
ization. those Of the tablelands and the
western slope are a yellow race, who.
at the time of the conquest possessed
civilization closely allied to that Of
the Aztecs. They are at the present day
an amiable. polite, Industrious and in
teresting people, though unprogres-
sive. Their industry is Of the most
painstaking and in many instances un-
thinking character. They do things be-
