amounts to % 700,000. — Vancouver Island was made a Crowncolony in 1849, the mainland of British Columbia in 1858. The two colo-nies were united in 1866 and entered the Canadian Confederation in 1871— The lowest coin current in British Columbia is the piece of 5 cents. Vancouver Island, on which Victoria lies, is the largest of thenumerous islands included in British Columbia, being 290 M. long and50-80 M. wide, with an area of 20,000 sq. M. The greater part of itssurface is covered with mountains, reaching a height of 6-7000 ft. (VictoriaPeak 7485 ft.), and little of its surface has been explored or reclaimed.It is rich in minerals (comp. p. 294). The island was discovered by Juande Fuca in 1592, and takes its name from Vancouver, who surveyed itscoasts in 1793. The two native tribes are the Nootkas and Selish, of whoma few degenerate specimens may be met in Victoria. Vancouver Island isalmost free from the mosquito and the black fly, which are often trou-blesome on the mainland.
