 America and Asia stretching out and approximating, so as 

 to leave the comparatively narrow channel of Behring's 

 Strait as the only communication between the Pacific and 

 the Arctic Oceans. Between the strait on the N., the 

 Aleutian Islands on the S., and the remarkable peninsulas 

 of Aliaska on the E. and Kamtschatka on the W., one of 

 the largest and best defined branches of the Pacific is the 

 Sea of Behriug."

 on the North by Behring Strait and the coasts of Eussia 

 and Alaska; on the east by the west coasts of North and 

 South America; on the south the imaginary line of the 

 Antarctic Circle divides it from the Antarctic Ocean, while 

 its westerly boundary is the east coast of Australia, the 

 Malay Archipelago sei)arating it from the Indian Ocean, 

 and the eastern coasts of tlie Chinese Empire. Some 

 modern geographers place the southern limit of the Atlan- 

 tic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans at the 40th parallel, and 

 name the body of water which surrounds the earth between 

 that latitude and the Antarctic Circle the Southern Ocean.
