Bay of Pangasinan.  About five leagues farther is the province of Pangasinan.  Its bay is about six leagues around.  Three large rivers, which flow from the mining district of the mountains, fall into this bay.  This province has a peaceful population of four thousand.  The land is allotted to six encomenderos; but the best portion of it, which has one thousand men, belongs to his Majesty.  The people resemble the Cambales above mentioned, in both dress and language; but they are more intelligent, for they are traders and traffic with the Chinese, Japanese, Borneans, and the natives of other islands.  This province abounds in food supplies, such as rice, goats, and swine; and many buffaloes are hunted.  The main occupation of this people is commerce; but they are also good farmers, and sell their articles of food and clothing to the miners; the gold that they obtain in return for these they barter with the Spaniards.  The men are very jealous of their wives, whom they kill immediately if caught in adultery; nor do the relatives of the latter resent the deed.  These people, like the Pintados, kill their children if they have many, in order that they may not live in poverty.

Alcalde-mayor of Pangassinan.  For two years this district has had one alcalde-mayor, who receives a salary of one hundred pesos.  From this province one can go by land to Manilla, over a very smooth and good road, having to travel only fourteen or fifteen leagues to arrive at the Capanpanga River.

Port of Japon.  Four leagues farther is a port which is called the port of Japon.  There is a settlement of [Spaniard:  crossed out in MS.] Indians, of the same race as those of Pangasinan.

Alinguey and Baratao.  Six leagues farther are the villages of Alinguey and Baratao, with a population of about two thousand.  Once they were allotted to one encomendero, but now they belong to the royal crown.  The people are of the same race as those who inhabit Pangasinan.

Purao.  Four leagues farther are the villages of Purao, with a population of two thousand.  These towns are under the encomendero of Bitis and Lubao.  The people differ from the above in language, but resemble them in their behavior and customs.  They till the land; and possess much gold, on account of being near the mines.  These people do not kill their children, as do the people of Pangasinan.

Villages of Lumaquaque.  Three leagues farther is the valley of Lumaquaque, where live about one thousand five hundred natives.  Half of this district is under one encomendero, the other half belongs to his Majesty.  The people resemble those of Purao.

Villages of Candon.  Two leagues farther are the villages of Candon, with a population of about one thousand eight hundred.  They are under two encomenderos.  The people resemble those of Purao.

Province of Maluacan.  Three leagues farther is the province of Maluacan, with a population of about one thousand eight hundred.  It is under the encomendero of Bonbon.
