“...Antigua, with Barbuda and Redonda ; St. Kitts, Nevis, and Anguilla; Montserrat, Dominica, and the Virgin Islands. Adjoining the West Indian islands are the colonies of British* Guiana on the mainland of South America and British Honduras in Central America, which have many interests in common with them. The other islands of importance beside those men- tioned above are: Porto Rico, St. Thomas, Santa Cruz or St. Croix, and St. John (American); Guadeloupe (with its dependencies the Saintes, Marie Galante, Desirade or Deseada, and St. Bartholomew), and Martinique (French); Curasao and its dependencies (Dutch), and St. Martin (owned jointly by the Dutch and French). GEOLOGY. The West Indian islands are partly volcanic and partly of coral formation. Many of the almost land-locked harbours are obviously the craters of extinct volcanoes, and there are also other signs, of volcanic action. The islands are understood to be the peaks of a sub- merged range of mighty mountains, known to geologists...”

“...of their preparation for market has not yet been I imparted to the planter, and consequently they are not culti- I vated on a commercial scale. The few sugar-works still stand- I ing are mainly concerned with the manufacture of rum, the I local consumption of which is about 60,000 gallons annually. I Cattle, sheep, and horses are bred in the island with success. I The soils of Grenada are rich, and have been compared with I those of Java for fertility. In Carriacou the cultivation of I Marie Galante cotton, started in the sixties, has never been I abandoned, and, that of limes, started about ten years ago, has I now become a considerable industry. CLIMATE. The climate of Grenada is equable and healthy.

“...the General would by no means have disturbed.—Cooper j !, Willyams. In the rainy season those residents of Pointe-a-Pitre 1 who can afford to do so leave town for the heights of s Petit Bourg, Sainte Thore, or Lamentin, where they can a enjoy the thermal baths of the Ravine Chaud, or Sofaia, la where there are sulphurous springs. Others seek recreation and health in the Saintes. GUADELOUPE’S DEPENDENCIES Guadeloupe has five dependencies—namely: Marie j ! Galante, Désirade, Les Saintes, Saint Martin, and Saint! 1 Barthélemy. Marie Galante, which lies sixteen miles to the south-1 east of Guadeloupe Proprement Dite, was discovered by Columbus on November 3rd, 1493, and named after his caravel.

“...GUADELOUPE'S DEPENDENCIES 311 capital is Grand Bourg and its staple industry the pro- duction of sugar. Désirade, six miles to the east of Grande Terre, was also discovered by Columbus on November 3rd, 1493- Like its neighbours, it is of coral formation. Some cotton is produced upon it; but the chief industry is the raising of live stock and fishing. To the- south, between it an Marie Galante, are two islets knbwn as Terre d’en haut and Terre d’en bas, not to be confused with those of similar names among Les Saintes. Les Saintes, a group of islands seven miles to the south of Guadeloupe Proprement Dite, were once a strategic position of great importance, and gave their name to the sea fight between Rodney and de Grasse on April 12th, 1782, which the French call the Battle of Dominica (see page 247). They comprise Terre d’en haut to the east, with Ilet a Cabrits, Grand Ilet, and the Ilets de la Coche, and des Augustins, and Redonda round it, and on the west Terre d’en bas. Discovered by...”
