Valley of Landan.  Two leagues farther is the valley of Landan, with a population of about one thousand Indians, who belong to the hospital of the city of Manilla.

Village of Vigan.  Opposite this valley is the village of Vigan, with about eight hundred inhabitants.  It belongs to his Majesty.  Not far from Vigan is settled the town of Fernandina, which Guido de la Vezaris founded in the year seventy-five.  He appointed there six regidors, two alcaldes, and one chief justice for all the provinces of the Ylocos.

Alcalde-mayor of Ylocos.  At the coming of Limahon, Fernandina was plundered, and there only remains now one alcalde-mayor, with twenty or thirty Spaniards, who usually dwell there as if in banishment.  The alcalde-mayor receives a salary of three hundred pesos, and appoints notaries at his pleasure.

Valley of Bantay.  One league from this town is the valley of Bantay, with a population of about one thousand six hundred, and one encomendero.

Valley of Sinay.  Three leagues farther is the valley of Sinay, which is under the same encomendero of Bantay, and has a population of about one thousand six hundred.

The valley of Vavo.  Two leagues from Sinay is the valley of Vavo.  It is under one encomendero, and has a population of about one thousand Indians.

Province of Cacaguayan.  Still farther is the province of Cacaguayan, with a population of about four thousand.  Two thousand of them are under two encomenderos—­each with one thousand; and two thousand belong to his Majesty.

Province of Ylagua. Two leagues farther is the province of Ylagua, which belongs to his Majesty.  It has a population of about five thousand, but they are not all peaceful.

Valley of Dynglas. Three leagues inland from this province is a valley called Dinglas.  It has a population of about two thousand Indians, and one encomendero.

Valley of Vicagua. Farther along the coast from Ylagua is the valley of Vicagua, with a population of two thousand, and two encomiendas.  This valley is twenty leagues from the Cagayan River.  There are to be found some rivers and settlements, but the inhabitants are not pacified or even known.

All the people of the Ylocos resemble the Pintados in their manner of living, but they eat raw meat.  They are a quiet and peaceful people, dislike war, and are humble and well-disposed.

Thus, from the city of Manilla to the Cagayan River hither, the distance is about one hundred and ten leagues, as stated above.  On account of the shortness of the time before me, I am unable to give a more detailed account of this island of Lucon, which is the most important in this land.

Island of Mindoro. Opposite the encomiendas of Bonbon and Batangas lies the island of Mindoro.  The Moros form the greater part of its population.  Three leagues from the island of Lucon is located the village of Mindoro.  This is a good harbor for ships, and belongs to his Majesty.  The village is inhabited by about two hundred and fifty Moros.  The island is eighty leagues in circumference, and is scantily populated, for it has in all less than five hundred inhabitants.  Some blacks live in the mountains, who gather a large quantity of wax.  The island is ill supplied with provisions.
