THE PROVINCE OF CHEKIANG By the Venerable Arclideacon A. E. Moule, B.D.,Church Missionary Society. The province of Chekiang contains 36,670 square miles.It is the smallest of the eighteen provinces of China proper;and yet this small area equals the whole of Lancashire andall the midland and southern counties of England. Theprovince measures 260 English miles from east to west,and 380 from north to south. It is equal in size toPortugal, and is twice as large as Denmark; Ireland couldlie within its boundaries, and the vast Victoria Nyanza isscarcely large enough to float Chekiang. The populationis extremely hard to estimate. The latest statistics, pub-lished in the Statesmans Year-Book, give 11,580,692 as theestimated population ; but older estimates, both Chinese andEnglish, gave a population of 26,000,000. The province is one of great historic and antiquarianinterest. It formed the extreme southern boundary of OldChina, the provinces and districts farther south being inearly days rega
