Cornwall.—maritime co. of England, forming its
SAV. extremity; is bounded by Devon on the E., and
washed on all the other sides by the sea; length, NE.
and SAV., 75 miles; average breadth, 22 miles; coast-
line, about 200 miles; area, 863,665 ac., pop. 330,686.
The S. coast is much and deeply indented, and has
some good harbours. The principal openings from AY.
to E. are Mounts Bay, Falmouth Bay and Harbour, St
Austell Bay, Fowey Harbour, AVhitsand Bay, and Ply-
mouth Sound. Falmouth is one of the finest harbours
in Britain. The indentations on the N. consist of
shallow bays with few or no harbours. The chief pro-
montories are Land’s End, where the granite cliffs are
about 60 ft. high ; and the Lizard, the most S. point of
England. The Scilly Isles lie off Land’s End, 25 miles
to the SAY. The Devonian range extends NE. and SAY.,
rising in Brown AVilly to an alt. of 1368 ft. The streams
are numerous, hut small. The principal are the Tamar
(which forms the boundary with Devon), Lyhner,
Fowey, and Camel. There is much barren moorland,
but the soil in the valleys is fertile. (For agricultural
statistics, see Appendix.) The prevailing rock is gra-
nite, of a grey or bluish-grey colour, which often rises
above the surface in huge, rugged masses ; clay slate
also abounds. The tin and copper mines of Cornwall
have been celebrated from remote ages, having been
known, it is supposed, to the Phoenicians. Some of
them are of very great depth, and have been carried
beneath the sea. Silver, lead, zinc, arsenic, antimony,
and bismuth are also found in considerable quantities.
The fisheries, especially of pilchard and mackerel, are
extensive and valuable. The co. comprises 9 hundreds,
the Scilly Islands, 219 pars., the pari. bor. of Penryn
and Falmouth (1 member), and the mun. bors. of
Bodmin, Falmouth, Helston, Launceston, Liskeard,
Penryn, Penzance, St Ives, and Truro. It is entirely
in the diocese of Truro. For pari, purposes it is
divided into 6 divisions, viz., AVestern or St Ives,
North-AVestern or Camborne, Truro, Mid or St
Austell, South-Eastern or Bodmin, and North-Eastern
or Launceston, 1 member for each division.
