IV.—Geological Notes on the Peninsula of Nicoya, Costa Rica

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

During a visit to Costa llica in the year 1910 I was able to spend about ten days in the comparatively little-known peninsula of Nicoya. The trend of the peninsula is north-west to south-east, and it is separated from the mainland by the Gulf of Nicoya, a shallow arm of the Pacific Ocean, which opens to the sea on the south-east.
