The first region visited by the expedition was the San Bias coast of Panama. Here Mr. Stirling spent approximately a month in making an ethnological survey of the Tule Indians. From Panama the expedition proceeded to Ecuador, where three weeks were spent in investigating archeological sites in the Andean highlands in the vicinity of Cuenca.
