The Bixa is the plant that furnishes the annate dye, with which we colour our cheeses. The natives call the paint by the name of Parima, Lake.—Ever since the time of the great adven- turer, Ealeigli, there has been great discussion as to the Lake Parima and El Dorado, or the Golden City. Some geographers have denied the existence of either lake or city, while others have been so certain as to the former, that a map in my possession places it about forty miles north-east of Fort St. Joachim, in the loop of the Tacatn River, between Lat. 4 and 5 N. Waterton could find no traces of it, and the inhabitants of Fort St. Joachim had not been more successful. Schomburgk,.
