BRAZIL 
29 
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 de 
cided effort is being made to unite the various 
main lines by connecting roads, so that the en 
tire republic, including its most remote dis 
tricts, may be thus reached. 
The leading cities, which should be visited 
for business purposes, are:—
