Abstract
THE object of the West India Committee in issuing this map is to stimulate interest in the British West Indies. No attempt has been made to give the land relief and other physiographical features of the individual islands—the relative size of the islands in relation to the parts of the mainland shown making such a course impracticable. Prominence is given to railways, sea routes, cables, and other data of commercial importance. Three inset maps are provided: one shows the routes and distances between Canada and the United States and the West Indies, another a plan of the Panama Canal, and a third a graphic representation of the areas and populations of the islands.
