ENTRE-Douno•E-Mmno, the name of one of the most populous provinces of Portugal, and so called from its situation between the rivers Douro and Minho. It is bounded on the north by Gal licia, a province of Spain ; on the east by Trales Montes and Spain ; on the south by the Portuguese province of Beira, from which it is separated by the Douro ; and on the west by the Atlan tic Ocean. It extends from 40° 50' to 42° of North La titude, and from 8° 55' to 7° 55' of West Longitude. It is about eighteen leagues long, and eleven broad ; and the whole province is a collection of granite mountains, the eminences consisting of bare granite sand, and the val lies alone being fertile. As the inhabitants are extreme ly industrious, the soil is well cultivated, and a system of irrigation is carried on to such an extent, that the nu merous wells obtained by digging, give the country an appearance of being covered with shafts of mines. The principal article of produce is maize, though rye, barley, and wheat, are sometimes cultivated. The vine yields a bad wine resembling vinegar, the grapes being shaded from the sun by the tops of trees.
