The Yaque del Sur, or Neiba River, receives several copious affluents, the largest one being the San Juan River. Much of the lumber exported at Barahona is floated down the Yaque and the river is navigable about 20 miles for flat-bottomed boats, though rapids and rocky ledges interpose obstacles. The other rivers of the southern part of Santo Domingo are much smaller.
Other towns of Santo Domingo Province. San Pedro de Macoris. Seibo. Samana and Sanchez. Pacificador Province. Concepcion de La Vega. Moca. Santiago de los Caballeros. Puerto Plata. Monte Cristi. Azua. Barahona. Compared with cities in the United States a majority of Dominican towns are hoary with age.
The population of the Dominican Republic is not scattered uniformly over the country, but is to be found chiefly in a fringe along the shore all the way from Monte Cristi to Barahona, and in the Cibao Valley. The most densely populated region is that part of the Cibao Valley known as the Royal Plain.
The data so far available seem to indicate that the healthiest province is Puerto Plata, followed by Santiago, Azua and Monte Cristi, after which come Santo Domingo, La Vega, Espaillat, Pacificador, Samana and Barahona. The mortality rate is highest in the province of Macoris where the annual number of deaths is reported to average about thirty per thousand.
