ANTONIO, St, one of the Cape de Verd Islands, about 40 miles in length and 20 in breadth. It is separated from St Vincent by a clear navigable channel two leagues in breadth. On the north coast there is a good road for shipping, with a supply of fresh water. The island stretches from north-east to south-west, and is filled with mountains, one of which is of so extraordinary a height as to be compared with the Peak of Teneriffe. Its top is constantly covered with snow, and, notwithstanding the clearness of the sky, generally hid in clouds. The island produces a variety of fruits, among which are oranges, lemons, melons, and some sugar-canes. The potatoes and melons are particularly excellent. Long. 25. W. Lat. 17. N.
