THE SULTANSHIP OF JOLd. The Jold Archipelago, formed of some 160 islands, is situated southwest of Mindanao and south of Basilan. It is bounded on the south by the Jold Sea, on the northeast by Mindanao, and on the west and southwest by Borneo. The small islands are covered with mangroves, while the large ones have thick forests of good timber, and the natives raise rice, maize, and various alimentary roots, ambergris being found on the coasts. The principal island, called Sulii, or Jold (ch. 47, 48, 49, 50, p. 285), is occupied in a military way by Spanish forces, whose chief, or governor, resides in the old capital, which has wellconstructed and armed forts, a pier, etc. By royal decree of November 13, 1877, the sultanship was transformed into a civico-military government. The population consists of 500 aborigines, 612 Chinese traders, and 16,000 negroes. (285) GENERAL INDEX. A. Page.
