Synopsis

Excerpt from The Building of an Island: Being a Sketch of the Geological Structure of the Danish West Indian Island of St. Croix, or Santa Cruz

The map is reduced to half size, linear measurement, from the chart of Santa Cruz, drawn after a survey by Mr. John Parsons in 1856, and published at the Hydrographic Office of the British Admiralty,'' London.

It is hoped that the present map will be found fairly accurate but the reader who wishes to follow up the observations noted in the following pages should procure a copy of the above-mentioned chart or of one published at the Hydrographic Office, Washington, on which to note such facts as he may learn about the character and slope of the strata, etc.

The full names of the estates and other points indicated by initials on the map are printed in col umus corresponding with the section in which the places are respectively found. They are also arranged, as far as possible, in a descending order answering to the positions of the places.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
