"The island of Iquique is also inhabited by Indians and Blacks, who are there employed to gather Guana, being a yellowish earth, thought to be the dung of birds, because, besides that it stinks like that of the cormorant's, there have been feathers of birds found very deep in it: however, it is hard to conceive how so great a quantity of it could be gathered there, for during the space of a hundred years past, they have laden ten or twelve ships every year with it, to manure the land, and it is scarce perceivable that the height of the island is abated, though it is not above three-quarters of a league in compass; and that besides what is carried away by the sea, they load abundance of mules with it for the vines and plowed lands of Tarapaca, Pica, and other neighbouring places; which makes some believe that it is a peculiar sort of earth; for my part, I am not of that opinion, for it is true the sea-fowls are there so very numerous, that it may be said, without romancing, that the air is sometimes darken'd with them."-Page 147.
