'Haber reconocido el paraje llamado el Portezuelo, sus rumbos, situacion, aguajes, pastos & y no creerlo propio p.a la fundacion de una Mision, p.o sí un lugar q.e se encuentra cerca, llamado S.ta Catalina: describe minuciosam.te su topografia &.' — site reconnaissance rejecting El Portezuelo and endorsing Sta. Catalina for a new mission (Mission Santa Catalina, Baja, founded 1797). Savage's English marginal note: 'This & the following to p. 272 must be Arrillaga & the Gov.' — the Tomo III/IV misattribution flag.
