The islands of Titicaca and Koati, illustrated . nt that noneof its villages, situated near but not on the shore, are visible.The northeastern side of the Strait of Tiquina is rocky andalmost uninhabited; the southwestern side, although nearlyas steep, is extensively cultivated. The reason of this isthat slopes exposed to the north, in this hemisphere, arethose which receive directly the warmth of the sun. Thetwo villages of San Pablo and San Pedro Tiquina ^^ occupyrespectively the southern and northern shores of the nar-rows near their southeastern extremity. From here themost southerly pillar of the snowy range, the Nevado ofIllimani, ^^ hitherto invisible, seems to rise suddenly and di-rectly out of the water, at the other end of the shallowlagune which we now enter. To the right opens the basin ofUinamarca dotted with islands mostly inhabited. Thelarger ones, Patapatani and Coana, also Cumana, dividethat lagune from the bays of Huarina and Chililaya. On theleft, the shore bears extensive haciendas like Compi and -a O cei=l*S.a EH. THE BASIN OF LAKE TITICACA 15 Chua, also the hamlet of Huatajata. On the main Lake, and as far as the passage of Tiquina, scarcely a craft is met, but now the water becomes enlivened by flotillas of smallbalsas, each raft with a sail of reeds and managed by oneman or sometimes by two men. These are fishing craft, thatdo not go into the Lake where their labor would hardlyprove remunerative. The coast of these interior basins isrich in totora, ^^ whereas the depth of the Lake along theshores of Koati and Copacavana does not permit thegrowth of this aquatic reed except in small patches. TheIndians of Huatajata and of the islands near by, are to agreat extent fishermen. A balsa does not last long, but anew one is easily constructed. Many of the Lake Indiansare rather fearless navigators and undertake comparativelylong voyages, trusting to the winds to direct their course.It is not uncommon to see Indians, from Huaicho andEzcoma, drift across
