Part III EUROPE oi*<c The continent of Europe was named when only thesouthern part of it was known; that is, the portion thatis separated from Africa and Asia by water. On Figure109 find what these bodies of water are called. As ex-ploration extended, it was found that Europe was reallycontinuous with Asia, being in fact a great peninsulaextending westward. Europe and Asia together actuallyform a single continent called Eurasia; but since Europehas been long considered a separate continent, and hasfigured so prominently as the home of the civilized races,it seems best to treat it separately. On the map (Fig. 172) trace the boundary between Europeand Asia. Make an outline map, inserting the boundaries andnames of the European countries. Add the names of the seasand the larger islands. What countries are partly or whollyon peninsulas ? Add to the map the large rivers with theirnames Where are the chief divides ? Mark with heavy linesthe location, of the principal mountains (Fig. 109)
