ports  on  the  eastern  coast  of  the  States  to
Brazil.
Brazil  has  15,272  miles  of  railways,  federal,
state  and  private,  over  many  of  which  tickets
which  correspond  to  our  mileage  books  are
issued,  for  the  convenience  of  the  travelling
public.  Many  new  lines  are  in  process  of
construction  or  contemplated,  and  a  very  decided ­
  effort  is  being  made  to  unite  the  various
main  lines  by  connecting  roads,  so  that  the  entire ­
  republic,  including  its  most  remote  districts, ­
  may  be  thus  reached.
The  leading  cities,  which  should  be  visited
for  business  purposes,  are:—
