Martinique.

The island of Martinique is about forty
five miles from northwest to southeast,
and the main part of it is oval in shape.
At the lower ond of this main part, the
old Fort Royal Bay-since the French Rev
olution called Fort de France Bay-cuts
in so deep as to come within six miles of
meeting two inlets on the other side. The
whole island is mountainous, and along
the great ridge are the cones of old vol
canoes. The total population of the island
is reckoned at 175,oOO, of whom 1000 are
whites. 1900 of Asiatic origin. and 15O con
negroes. Martinique was the birthplace of
Empress Josephine and OF Nine. de Main

volcanic mountains on the island, is about
400 feet high 1t had long been inactive
as a volcano, but in August, 1851, it had a
violent eruption. 1t is in the northwestern
end of the island and near the foot of its
