Note 8 — Ecclesiastical System in the Philippines
Reading edition
An evident error, as Caraga is in Mindanao; probably the writer meant to say Albay, as is indicated in his enumeration of parishes in the diocese of Nueva Cáceres, sheet [11] of appendices at end of vol. ii. The boundaries of provinces in Luzon were formerly quite different, in many cases, from the present ones. See, for instance, the map in Mas’s Informe (1843), preceding his chapter on “Territorial divisions;” Albay thereon includes not only the present Sorsogon, but the islands of Masbate, Ticao, and Catanduanes.
