[118] The bishopric of Jaro was separated, by papal decree, in 1865,
from that of Cebu, and contained the provinces of Iloilo, Concepcion,
Capiz, and Antique (these four being included within the island of
Panay); also Mindanao (excepting Misamis and Surigao, which are in
the bishopric of Cebu), Calamianes, Negros, and Romblon. The Marianas
Islands were assigned to the diocese of Cebu; also Bohol, Leyte,
and Samar.

"The diocese of Jaro was created by bull of Pius IX in 1865, and its
first bishop was Don Fray Mariano Cuartero, who died in 1884. He was
succeeded by Don Fray Leandro Arue, a Recollect religious, who died
in 1897. In his place was chosen Don Fray Andres Ferrero de San Jose,
a religious of the same order." (_Archipielago filipino_, ii, p. 256.)

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.
