numeration is found among all the American aborigines, ancient and
modern, juxtaposition usually designating multiplication._)

APPENDIX C.
COMMERCE OF THE AMAZON.
I.--VALUE OF PRODUCTS EXPORTED FROM DIFFERENT TOWNS ON THE AMAZON BY THE
IMPERIAL STEAMERS IN 1867.[190]
[Footnote 190: This Table is taken from the _Relatoria da Companhia de
Navegacao e Commercio do Amazonas_, and includes only the commerce by
the Brazilian steamers and the staple products. The vast amount carried
by sailing craft and by Peruvian steamers on the Maranon is unknown to
us. The number of passengers transported by the steamers in 1867 was
13,886; receipts from passage, $75,744; from freight, $210,654. In the
reduction, the milrey has been taken at 50 cts. U.S. currency, which was
the rate very nearly in 1867. The alquiere (alq.)--.988 of a bushel;
arr. = arroba of 32 lbs.]
