Description
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.
