Abstract
The Commonwealth of the Bahamas forms an archipelago of some seven hundred islands and cays covering a total land area of 5,353 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. Of these, about twenty-nine islands are inhabited. The islands and cays which are distributed over a total area of 100,000 square miles, lie between latitude 20° to 27° North and longitude 72° to 79° West or stretching approximately 50 miles off the west coast of Florida southwards to some 90 miles from the northern coast of Haiti.
