About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ...half mile apart. Each island is from five to six miles in circumference, -consisting of granite covered with guano, irrsome places to the height of_2UD feet in successive stiata, each stratumbeing from three to ten inches in thickness, varying in color from a light to a.dark brown. No earthy matter whatever is mixed with this cast mass-of e.z'cremem..

There is ano-_hcents=, r variety of guano of which only a few cargoes havegone to Eng land, and none of which have cotne to this country, ca-lled Angamos guano, better somewhat than the Peruvian. ' Guano is also broughtfrom Ichaboe, from the Coast of Potago "' How does this agree with the oft repeated-statements of interested individualswho say it is all alike-? 'nia, from Saldanha Bay, and lately from Mexico. I have been informed that near Key West, and in several other places on the coast bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, large deposits of this manure abound. It would be well worth the attention of some of our enterprising merchants to examine into this, and our naval oflicers too on duty there would confer agreat favor on their country were they to examine and bring to light thes
