GUADELOUPE. 



"Tlii.s island is situated on the IGth parallel of latitude, and couipre- 

 liends, under its general name of Guadeloupe, two islands, separated 

 only by a narrow creek, called Eiviere Salee. The larger, known as 

 Guadeloupe, proper, is very mountainous, a ridge running its entire 

 length, north and south. There are several extinct craters in this ridge 

 of mountains (as many as fourteen, it is said), and in the southern ter- 

 mination is a volcano yet somewhat active. Smoke and steam and sul- 

 phur fumes are emitted, though thei-e has been no eruption during tlie 

 present century. Guadeloupe is well watered. More than fifty rivers 

 descend from the mountains to the sea on either side. The forests are 

 large and dense, but contain in them less animal life than one would ex- 

 l>ect. 



"The adjacent island, called Grande Terre, is not quite so large as the 

 other, being about 20 miles in length and 10 to 15 in breadth. It is low 

 and fiat, no elevation occurring of any height. This portion is well cul- 

 tivated, and there are no forests or even tracts of wood. 



" The formation of Guadeloupe, i)ropor, is volcanic, while that of Grande 

 Terre is of coral, though probably built upon volcanic tufa. The \)vm-
