SIZE OF THE ISLAND OF SARDINIA.-The earliest
geograPhers represented Sardinia to be the lar
gest OF the Mediterranean islands, Sicily ranking
graphers both in ancient and modern times. until
the surveys OF La MaImnra and Captain W. II.
Smytb, R. n, set the question at rest. The result
Is in favor oi Sicily, though the difference be very
trihing La Marlnora calculated the extreme
length of SARDINIA from the Cape FaIcone on the N.
to Cape Teulada on the s. at PCS, ,223 metres, or
about l67 miles; its greatest width at 90 and
Smyth's admeasurement from Longo-Sarda to
Cape Spartivento, something short of the exit eme
points, is upwards of 14O nautical or l63 statute
miles, and he reckOns the average breadth at about
GU nautical or 20 statute miles. The approximate
result from comparison of these statements may
be taken with sufficient accuracy as 160 statute
miles of length, with an average breadth of about
TO- Sardinia thus forming, like its sister island
Corsica, long paraelogram, each extending
almost due N. and S.-Fore8ter's RambIes in Sar-
