Excerpt from On Peruvian Guano: Its History, Composition and Fertilizing Qualities; With the Best Mode of Its Application to the Soil
The Chincha islands, which contain the great Guano de posits, are situated in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Peru, at the distance of about twelve miles.
They lie between Lat. And Lat. S.; a zone within which no rain falls, where the air is dry, and the sun shines with vehement power. The waters of the surrounding ocean contain innumerable shoals of fish; and myriads of birds, after daily satisfying their voracious appetites upon the finny tenants of the deep, have for ages made the islands their nightly abode, and the receptacle of their faecal offerings. From the arid nature of the climate, the excess. Of humidity has speedily evaporated from their ordure, de composition has been arrested, and by gradual accumulation from time immemorial, these extraordinary deposits have attained the depth, in many parts, of one hundred feet.
