Long L/j id. an island belonging to the State
of New Y-_rk. extending along the coast of
Connecticut, from S. W. to N. E., about 140 m. in
length and 10 m. in average breadth. It is di-
vided into three counties. Ring, Queen’s, and
Suffolk. At theW. extremity it forms the bay of
NewYork. On the s.ce of the ocean the island
is bordered by an immense beach of sand. In other
parts,it is much indented with numerous bays; and
Gardiner’s Bay, with several others, occupies an
extent of near 30 m. at the E. end. These bays
also encompass many islands, several of which
are of considerable extent. A ridge or drain of
58
low hills extends from the west end to the eastern
extremity. The waters are stored with a vast
abundance and variety of fish, and Long-Island
has long been celebrated for its wild fowl and
various forest game. Much of the land in the east
is a light sand, still clothed with vast forests ol
pine: and in these are found abundance of game.’
East of the Hempstead plains, the island is cov-
ered with shrubby oaks and pines, called the
brush}⁷ plains ; and here are found the grouse, or,
heath-hens. Farther eastward, towards Islip and

Fire-place, are streams where there is good trout
fishing; and towards the centre of the island, is
plenty of wild deer, that are hunted and killed by
way-laying them as they are driven along by
hounds. In October and November, brent, wild
geese, and other waterfowl, are killed in great num-
bers along the bays and inlets. Deer cannot lawful-
ly be killed on Long Island from January to July ;
nor heath-hens, partridges, quails, or woodcocks,
from 1st April to 5th October.

The face of the country on the north side of
the island is hilly, and in some places full of
rocky boulders; while on the south, the country
is mostly free from large stones, and presents a
gradual slope towards the ocean, which appears
to have formerly washed the base of the hills.

Long Island Sound, is from 3 to 25 m. broad, ex-¹
tending the whole length of Long Island, and di-
viding it from Connecticut. It communicates
with the Atlantic at the E. end of the island, and
with the harbour of New York at the W.
