Resumen
The desire expressed the department for an early report of my exploration of the amazon, and the general interest manifested in the public mind with regard to the same, have induced me to lay before you at once as full an account of our proceedings as can be made before the return of my companion. The general map which accompanies the report is based upon maps published by the Society for the diffusion of useful knowledge, buy corrected and improved according to my own personal observations and on information obtained by me whilst in that country. The final report of the expedition will be sumitted as soon after Lieut. Gibbon´s return as practicable. I am in daily expectation of intelligence fron him
