Jan 6 1928 In looking at a Bartholomew map of oceanic depths, I see that had stretching from the Yucatan for much of some distance with a deep margin to E. and across m. Cuba. Honduras goes N.E. to Jamaica and in Haiti. Cuba goes S-E into m. Haiti and or in Porto Rico. But if Prince there is a land going N. into the Lesser Antilles. Between the latter and Porto Rico there is an opening down to Porto Rico deeps. To the north Honduras in the Gulf left deep, the Caribbean is also deep, but not the Gulf of Mexico. The West Indies map shows that the end of Trinidad stretches W.E out into ocean according to the Windward Islands not connected onto S.A. The N.W. of Trin idad goes S.W. to E. of Venezuela. The out to W. of those reaches down the E. into the Caribbean. Porto Rico includes the Lepern Islands, for the whole.
