Anega'da, the most northerly of the Virgin Islands, lying east of Porto Rico in the West Indies. It contains about 13 sq. m., with a scanty population of 200, and belongs to England. A little cotton is grown. The island is of coral formation, and beset with reefs; but the shipwrecks for which these were notorious are now rare, thanks to the lighthouse on Sombrero.
