THE HORSES OF THE LLANDOS.
In describing the rich resources and the vast extent of half developed, or almost entirely undeveloped, country belonging to Brazil, the traveller stirs the imagination of the reader by speaking of the llandos, or grassy plains, in the extreme northern part of the country on which, he says, “roam millions of horses, many being caught and sold in the different markets of the world.” Within an area fully as great as that of the linked States, Brazil contains a population of only 17,000.000 people, mostly of Indian origin. The numerous rivers, some of them very large, the fertile plains, the great forests. and the minerals which include iron, gold, diamonds rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and other precious stones, seem to promise a very great future for Brazil.
