     Prince Edward Island, which is about half 
     
     the size of Jamaica, has a greater density of 
     
     population and a higher ratio of rural to urban 
     
     dweller than New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, 
     
     or in fact any other province. Outside of 
     
     Charlottetown (the capital city) and Summer- 
     
     side its inhabitants are fairly evenly distributed 
     
     among the farms throughout the island. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In New Brunswick—an area short of that of 
     
     Scotland by 2,420 square miles— the principal 
     
     settlements are in the districts around Saint 
     
     John, the potato and apple growing area along 
     
     the St. John river, the dairying district of the 
     
     Kennebecasis valley, along Chaleur and Passa- 
     
     maquoddy bays, and on the coast of the St. 
     
     Lawrence gulf and Northumberland strait, the 
     
     leading cities or towns being Saint John, 
     
     Moncton, Fredericton (the capital city), Camp- 
     
     bellton, Chatham, Edmundston, Newcastle, 
     
     St. Stephen, Bathurst, Sackville, and Dalhousie.
