an island in the Adriatic, off the coast of Dalmatia, in the circle of, and 8 miles from, the town of Spalatro. Area 170 square miles. Pop. 16,000. The surface is rugged and mountainous, but is industriously cultivated, and its wine is accounted the best in Dalmatia. It produces also oil, figs, almonds, and saffron, but the corn crop scarcely supplies the wants of the inhabitants for three months. Its kids are celebrated; as are also its milk, cheese, and honey.
