This is an excellent example of the unpleasant fact that the world has changed since August,
1914. There is almost nothing of any value in the 1911 encyclopedia's geographical entries other than physical dimensions of the earth - and those are all too often in fathoms, which I'm sure you devotees of the SI system find as annoying as I find it's appalling pope-baiting in the history articles. It is well worth evaluating your time and effort porting these sad little documents and thinking of what we often have to do with them once they're here. --
