Below Lake Batu, where it becomes navigable, the Vicol flows by Nabua and Naga or Nueva-Caceres, capital of the province of Camarines-Sur, beyond which it falls into San-Miguel Bay opposite the fortress of Cabusao, and not far from Daet, capital of the province of North Camarines.

Daraga, officially designated Cag- saua, replaces an older town of this name which stood higher up on the flanks of the mountain, but which was destroyed by the erup- tion of 1814. The port of both towns is Legaspi, which is exposed to the full fury of the north-east monsoons, and consequently inacces- sible during the winter months ; at this season all the traffic is transferred to Sorsogon on the west side of Luzon. Other ports in this region are Tibi and Tabaco, north of Albay, and Biilumn at the east foot of Mayon. In the island of Samar, which forms a south-eastern extension of the Camarines peninsula, there are no large towns. The most important centres of population are Guinan near the southern extremity ; Bovongan on the east coast, like Guinan sur- rounded by vast forests of cocoa-nut palms ; and the capital Catbalogan on the west coast, on an almost inaccessible roadstead. Of the adjacent island of Leyte the capital and chief seaport is Taclobau, at the southern entrance of the channel separating the two islands. This channel, some twenty-four miles long, contracts in some places to a narrow defile, expands in others to a broad lake, and at certain points is only a few hundred yards wide.
