Quimisto, merely a bight in the coast 
with a sandy beach, lies 3J miles E. by N. 
\ N. from Y’alapa. There are a number of 
large houses or barracks at Quimisto. used 
by the men who are employed to load ships 
frequenting the coast for logwood; they were 
unoccupied at the time of the Saginaw's visit. 
Boca de Tomatlan, another break in 
the coast similar to Yalapa, and formed by 
the Rio Tomatlan, lies about 3 miies East 
from Quimisto; it is small, deep, and can 
only be used by coasters. There are a few 
inhabitants at this place. 
About 3 miles eastward of Tomatlan are 
two high rocks, between which and the coast 
is the anchorage of Las Peñas, where there 
is said to be a pearl fishery. 
Rio Banderas. The coast to the east 
ward of Las Peñas runs low, trending sharply 
to the northward towards the Rio Banderas, 
the Rio Piginto of the charts. This river is 
reported to be navigable for nearly 20 miles 
by vessels drawing about 10 feet; the green 
water from this river is met with at a distance 
of 10 miles from its mouth, and may be the 
cause of most of the discoloured water seen 
about Cape Corrientes. All the land in the 
neighbourhood of the Rio Banderas is flat, 
but the mountains rise in the distance.
