Description
It is a notes book. The subject of the Mosquito country has lately acquired a general interest. I am anxious to insert the following 'Notes and Queries' in your useful periodical, hoping thus to elicit additional information, or to assist other inquirers. As to the origin of the name. I believe it to be probably derived from an native name of a tribe of Indians in that part of America. The Spanish Central Americans speak of Moscos. Juarros, A Spanish Central American author, in his History of Guatemala, names the Moscos among other Indians inhabiting the north-eastern corner of that tract of country now called Mosquito: and in the 'Mosquito Correspondence' laid before Parliament in 1848, the inhabitants of Mosquito are called Moscos in the Spanish state-papers. How and when would Mosco have become Mosquito? Was it a Spanish elongation of the name, or an English corruption? In the former case, it would probably have been another name of the people: in the latter, probably a name given to the part of the coast near which the Moscos lived.
