AMOLTEPEC, a settlement of the alcaldia mayor of Teozaqualco in Nueva Espana. It contains 96 families of Indians, who gather cochineal and cultivate some maize. It is nine leagues to the s. of its capital.

AMONOOSUCK, an Indian name given to two rivers in New Hampshihre; the one is called Upper Amonoosuck, passing through a track of excellent meadow. It rises near the n. end of the White hills, runs n. about 15 miles, where is a carrying place of about three miles to Amariscoggin river. From thence the river runs s. w. and w. nearly 18 miles, and empties into the Connecticut at Northumberland, near the Upper Coos.
The other is called Great or Lower Amonoosuck, which rises on the w. side of the White mountains. It falls into the Connecticut just above the town of Haverhill in Lower Coos, by a mouth 100 yards wide. About two miles from its mouth it receives Wild Amonoosuck, 40 yards wide, from Franconia and Lincoln mountains. Two or three hours rain raises the water in this last mentioned river several feet, and occasions a current so furious as to put in motion stones of a foot in diameter, but its violence soon subsides.

AMOPOCAN, a settlement of Indians of the province and corregimiento of Cuyo in the kingdom of Chile, situate on the shore of a river.

AMOTAPE, a settlement of the province and corregimiento of Piura in Peru, immediately upon the coast of the S. sea, and a quarter of a league from the river of its name, which forms itself into pools in the rainy season, which so fertilize the land as to produce abundance of seeds, roots, and fruits peculiar to a hot climate. It is in the direct road called Vales, which leads to Piura. In its vicinity is a miue of Cope, a sort of black and hard naphtha, resembling ashphalta, in which a great commerce is carried on with the ports, where it is used instead of alquitran, though it is more commonly mixed with the latter.
