Excerpt from Scientific Survey of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Vol. 1: Part 3; Geology of the Ponce District

The mountains along the northern boundary of the district receive a copious supply of moisture from the sudden downpours, which were Observed to be a daily event during the period spent in the district.
