Plants, which are cultivated in the four viz I.II.III&
IV Climates on the South of the AEquatorl also in the

and prosper equally alike, are

produces the Torpic Plants, commonly called West Indian Products; for in
the Southernmost Extent of Paraguay the Sugar Cane is still cultivated viz:
in the IV Climate on the South side of the AEquator, and the Sugar, which is
manufactured
