The area of England and Wales is 37,327,479 acres or 58,324 sq. m.
(England, 50,851 sq. m.), and the population on this area in 1901 was
32,527,843 (England, 30,807,232). The principal territorial divisions of
England, as of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, are the counties, of which
England comprises 40. Their boundaries are not as a rule determined by
the physical features of the land; but localities are habitually defined
by the use of their names. A list of the English counties (excluding
Wales) is given in the table above.[4]

_Hills._--As an introduction to the discussion of the natural regions
into which England is divided (Section II.), and for the sake of
comparison of altitudes, size of rivers and similar details, deg.the
salient geographical features may be briefly summarized. The short
land-frontier of England with Scotland (its length is only 100 m.) is in
great measure a physical boundary, as considerable lengths of it are
formed on the east side by the river Tweed, and on the west by Kershope
Burn, Liddel Water, and the river Sark; while for the rest it follows
pretty closely the summit of the Cheviot Hills, whose highest point is
the Cheviot (2676 ft.). A narrow but well-marked pass or depression,
