Whatever bookmakers and map- maker may say, the name of Central Ameri ca belongt solely and exclusively to the tract of country once occupied by the republic of j Central America, consisting of the five States of Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador.

That ti le wa never heard of before. The repub lic of Ceniml America wa shorl-lived, like lhal of Columbia. The union was dissever ed ; llie separate State set up for themselves; aud, front that lime, Ihe name became virtual., ly extinct in the Stale of Central America themselves. Il wa used, however, in Other parts of the world, and it is still ued, as a convenient designation for ihe country ; but it is not used as tV ing applied lo any otl.e roontry than simply, that of the five Stales.
