[24] Mindoro has an area of 3,851 square miles, according to the estimate of the Census of the Philippines, i, pp. 65, 66. It has a maximum length of 100 miles and its greatest width is about 60 miles. Though represented as having two mountain ranges those who have crossed the island say that it has but one. The highest elevation of that range is Mt. Halcón, about 8,800 ft. high. The island has much valuable timber. The settlements are mostly confined to the coast, and are small, while some wild people live in the interior.
[25] Of “yonote” Colin (Labor evangélica, p. 29) says: “They [i.e., the inhabitants of Mindoro] pay their tribute in yonote, which is a kind of black hemp, produced by certain palms. It is used for the larger cables of ships, which are made in the rope factory of the village of Tal.” Cf. bonote, Vol. X, p. 58; and Vol. XIV, p. 257.
[26] San Antonio, i, p. 102, notes that the island of Mindoro was formerly called Maìt. Its Chinese name was Ka-may-en (see Vol. XXXIV, p. 187, note 15).
