proportion.
In the forest and on the smaller
rivers life was made alracst unhear'
able by insect pests. Ants were met
with everywhere; they swarrlea over
ones person in hundreds, and most OF
hem bit most savagely.
There was one kind Of red ant,
called Itashi, which lived in trees
named palosantos, followed out by
themselves whose bite was like q
touch with red-hot iron. II q person
inadvertently touched CT leant up
