Abstract
Bermuda is a colony, with semi-representative government, consisting of a group of some 300 small islands (about 20 inhabited), 570 miles east-south-east of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and 677 miles from New York, noted for its climate and scenery; a favourite winter resort for Americans, and now an important British and American naval and air base. The civil population (i.e., excluding British and American military, naval and air force personnel) at Dec, 1954, was estimated at 40,434.
