official surveys along the southern
coast Of Porto Rico show that the coast
line is much more in error than had
been supposed. Information now at
hand discloses the fact that from
Ponce to the eastward. chartered at
fifty miles, the actual distance is but
forty-three miles, necessitating con.
traction Of the shore line on maps and
charts to the extent of seven miles for
that stretch alone. If that proportion
of error is found to hold good for the
whole island its actual area will be
very greatly circumscribed by the re-
suits of the surveys.
