BURCHARD 15. 152 CHROME-ORE DEPOSITS IN CUBA In the study of material for the present paper, chemical analyseshave been made by R. C. WeUs and petrographic determinations anddescriptions were furnished by Miss E. F. Bliss, both of the U. Survey. Distribution and Nature of Deposits About twelve groups of chrome-ore deposits in Cuba have thus farattracted attention, all being within 25 mi. (40 km.) and most of themwithin 10 mi. (16 km.) of the north coast; the}^ display considerablediversity in quality, size, and accessibility. One of the most westerlydeposits is in the eastern part of the Province of Habana, and two arein the Province of Matanzas. The next group toward the east is in theProvince of Camaguej^ a few miles northeast of the city of deposits are in the Province of Oriente, one near Holguin andanother south of Nipe Bay, and there are three groups in the mountainsnear the coast between Punta Gorda and Baracoa.
