CURACAO ISLAND. 



The Island of Curacao is situated 43 miles east of Aruba. It is 

 about 6 miles in width at its widest part. The central portion is high, 

 rising from the coast in successive terraces, the highest part being 

 known as San Cristoffel Mountain. It is situated in the northwestern 

 portion of the island and has an elevation of 1255 feet. 



The vegetation is similar to that of Aruba, although a considerable 

 number of fruit orchards occur throughout the island. Dr. N. Dear- 

 born's stay on Curacao was limited to eight days, from March 24 to 

 March 31, 1908, and nearly all of his specimens were taken about 

 12 miles west of the town ot Willemstad in the western part of the 

 island.
