Excerpt from Exploração do Rio Cautario: Relatorio Apresentado em 25 de Maio de 1918 ao Sr. Coronel Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Chefe da Commissão
As margens, de um e outro lado, são pedregosas e bem assim o leito do rio. A vegetação é baixa e mirrada. Cerca de 9 horas ouvimos, depois de termos atravessado algumas corredeiras, um alarido terrível que vinha da margem esquerda. A principio suppuz tratar - se de algum bando de passaros, desconhecidos para mim, que em revoada vinham em nossa direcção. Foi esta a primeira impressão que tive.
