SummaryResumen

This portion of the commissioners' report describes San Domingo's abundance: cotton raised near Azua, cinchona on the higher mountains, tobacco suited to the whole country, three crops of Indian corn a year, more than forty kinds of tropical fruit, and immense herds of cattle on the savannas. It also describes the island's forest products, neglected but well-stocked fisheries, and its health, concluding that the popular idea that Dominican territory is particularly unhealthy and liable to yellow fever is entirely erroneous.

Esta parte del informe de los comisionados describe la abundancia de Santo Domingo: algodón cultivado cerca de Azua, quina en las montañas más altas, tabaco apto para todo el país, tres cosechas de maíz al año, más de cuarenta clases de frutas tropicales e inmensas manadas de ganado en las sabanas. También describe los productos forestales de la isla, sus pesquerías descuidadas pero bien provistas, y su salubridad, concluyendo que la idea popular de que el territorio dominicano es particularmente insalubre y propenso a la fiebre amarilla es enteramente errónea.
