The Marshall group are made up chiefl}'- of atolls, or reefs, about the islands, whose continuity is broken by passages. Inside these encircling reefs are found water basins called lagoons, for the most part open, and navigable by large ships. These lagoons have frequently considerable extent; that of Jaluit is 82 miles long from north to south; the greatest width reaches 20 nautical miles.
