Caroline Islands extend from the Pelew group to Ualan, and from 2° to 12° N., and 

 with the Marshall and Gilbert groups are comprised in that portion of the Pacific 

 usually called Micronesia. The name comes from that given by the Spanish 

 Admiral Don Francisco Lezcano to a large island in the group not now identified. 

 Duperrey and Liitke made the group known geographically, and to Dr. Luther 

 Halsey Gulick, an American missionary, we are indebted for much information on 

 both islands and inhabitants. The earliest account is by a Jesuit missionary, 

 Juan Antonio Cantova, who visited portions of the group in 172 1 and was killed 

 at Mogmog ten years later. There are perhaps 877 square miles distributed over 

 nearly fifty groups, most of them atolls. The table will show the distribution
