"The diocese of Jaro was created by bull of Pius IX in 1865, and its
first bishop was Don Fray Mariano Cuartero, who died in 1884. He was
succeeded by Don Fray Leandro Arue, a Recollect religious, who died
in 1897. In his place was chosen Don Fray Andres Ferrero de San Jose,
a religious of the same order." (_Archipielago filipino_, ii, p. 256.)
[119] An evident error, as Caraga is in Mindanao; probably the writer
meant to say Albay, as is indicated in his enumeration of parishes
in the diocese of Nueva Caceres, sheet [11] of appendices at end
of vol. ii. The boundaries of provinces in Luzon were formerly quite
different, in many cases, from the present ones. See, for instance, the
map in Mas's _Informe_ (1843), preceding his chapter on "Territorial
divisions;" Albay thereon includes not only the present Sorsogon,
but the islands of Masbate, Ticao, and Catanduanes.
[120] This should be Bondog; it is but one of the many typographical
errors which detract from the value of Buzeta and Bravo's
_Diccionario_. Bangsa apparently means the present Bangon; Bulsnan,
Bulusan; Tigbi, Tiui or Tivi; Lognoy, Lagonoy. We have corrected in
the text several other names incorrectly spelled.
[121] The present town of Capalonga is at the mouth of the important
river Banogboc, which with its tributaries drains the western half
of Camarines Norte; the lower part of the river is also known as
Capalonga.
[122] Chart [11] at the end of the volume gives a list of the provinces
and villages of the bishopric, with the names of the incumbents of
the various churches. The summary of the list is as follows:
Provinces Number of Held by Held by
seculars regulars curacies
Camarines Sur 38 17 14
Camarines Norte 8 0 7
Albay 35 8 22
Commandancy of the
islands of Masbate
and Ticao 6 0 5
Tayabas 17 9 6
Total 103 34 54
[123] The extreme northeast point of Cagayan province and Luzon Island,
a landmark of approach for navigators to the eastern coast. It is a
promontory at the north point of Palaui Island, and is 316 feet high.
[124] A chart at the end of the volume shows the various provinces and
their villages, with the names of the incumbents of the curacies. Its
summary is as follows:
Provinces Number of Held by Held by
