at the present time are those of the Gulf of
California. centering around La Paz and along
the outer coast of Lower California in Mexico.
These fisheries were discovered by fernando
Cortez when he marched across Mexico in
1926 The principal beds are near La Paz, in
the Gulf, Espiritu Santo, Lorenzo Point, of
the island of Cerrabro, Los Coyotes and Mu-

OF Loreto and Tiburon, on the east side In

Mexico and Nicaragua.
Cortez and the Spaniards after him Obliged
the Indians to work the La Paz beds and to
give onetenth of their catch to the church
and onetenth to the crown. The beds were
soon depleted and later abandoned. Over fifty
years later, after having recuperated, fishing
was renewed, and it is said that Spaniard
who later worked them took yearly from them
800 to 500 pounds Of pearls which he packed
on mules and sold by the bushel.
Up to 30 years ago "buzos de cabeza." or
head divers, only were employed. but on the
revival OF the fisheries about this time mod
