New Jersey is washed, on the eastand southeast, by Hudson river and the ocean; and onthe west, by the bay and river Delaware. Arthur Kiti/% or Newark Bay, is formed by the union ofPassaic and Hackinsack rivers, Rariton Bay is at the mouth of Rariton river, havingStaten island on the north, and the main land on the south.
