azil_ (Rio de Janeiro, 1903); J.W. Evans, "The Rocks of the Cataracts of the River Madeira and the adjoining Portions of the Beni and Mamore," _Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc._, London, vol. lxii., 1906, pp. 88-124, pl. v. FOOTNOTES: [1] The areas are reduced from the planimetrical calculations made at Gotha and used by A. Supan in _Die Bevolkerung der Erde_ (1904). They are corrected to cover all boundary changes to 1906. [2] The census of 1890 is the last one of which complete returns are published. That of 1900 was notoriously inaccurate in many instances. [3] The census returns are for municipalities, and not for cities proper. As a municipality covers a large extent of country, the population given is larger than that of the urban parishes, and is therefore not strictly correct according to European practice. [4] The Brazilian official titles are given for the state capitals: Belem for Para; Sao Luiz for Maranhao; Sao Salvador for Bahia; and Recife for Pernambuco. [5] The capital of Minas Geraes in 1890 was Ouro Preto; it has since been transferred to Bello Horizonte, or Cidade de Minas, which has an estimated population of 25,000. [6] Since the naval revolt of 1893-1894 the name of the capital of Santa Catharina has been changed from Desterro to Florianopolis in honour of President Floriano Peixoto. [7] The "bran" exported is from imported wheat and cannot be considered a national product. [8] The "old metals" consist of old iron, brass, &c., derived from railway material, machinery, &c., all imported, and should not be considered a Brazilian product. The "sundry products" would probably be included in the four general classes were the items given. [9] Previous to 1907 these two departments were united in one under the designation of "Industry, Communications and Public Works." The division was decreed December 29, 1906. BRAZIL, a city and the county-seat of Clay county, Indiana, U.S.A., situated in the west central part of the state, about 16 m. E. of Terre Haute and about 57 m. W.S.W. of Indianapolis. Pop. (1890) 5905; (1900) 7786 (723 foreign-born); (1910) 9340. It is served by the Central Indiana, the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the Evansville & Indianapolis and the Vandalia railways, and is connected with Indianapolis, Terre Haute and other cities by an interurban electric line.
