According to the first project, that of 1796, it was intended to link the canal with the small river of Guines, to be brought from the Ingenio de la Holanda to Quibican, three leagues south of Bejucal and Santa Rosa.

If I cannot hear anything of them elsewhere I will run down to both those places to-morrow and institute a few judicious enquiries.
