Canary Islands (cf. C. E., III-243b) .— The Canary
Islands, with an area of 3342 square miles, consist
of the following: Teneriffe, 919 square miles; Grand
Canary, 631 square miles; Palma, 318 square miles;
Lanzarote, 380; Gomera, 172; Fuereventura, 788;
Hierro, 122. The population in 1914 was esti-
mated at 478,500, including about 300 British in
Las Palmas. The chief towns are Santa Cruz
(population 61,000), the capital of the Canaries, San
dristobal de la Laguna (population 16,000), Las
Palmas (population 60,000), the chief commercial
town and the judicial capital of the archipelago,
and Arucas (population about 9500), the chief
center of the cochineal and sugar industries. For
administrative purposes the (Zlanary Islands are
treated as a province of Spain, under a governor
who resides at Teneriffe.
The Diocese of Canaries (Canaribnsis), com- prises the whole archipelago of the Canary Islands, IS suffrasan of the archdiocese of Seville, and was erected by the anti-pope, Benedict XIII in 1404,
with the episcopal residence at Lanzarote. Two
years later, 1406, the true pope, Innocent VII,
erected the see, and in 1435 changed the residence
to Las Palmas, but the change did not become
effective until 1485. From 1353 until 1485 there was
a Bishop of Rubicond (Lanzarote), but this series
is independent of the Bishops of Las Palmas. The
diocese comprises the islands of Grand Canary,
Fuerta-Ventura, and Lanzarote, a territoiy of
2465 square miles. The patroness of the diocese
is Nuestra Senora del Pino, and the church at Las
Palmas, dedicated to her, was raised to a minor
basilica, 13 January, 1916.
On 22 April, 1919, took place the first diocesan synod held here for two hundred years, at which time the Pope sent a message of approval to the bishop and recommended to him the full applica- tion of all canonical rights, as far as the present circumstances of the diocese would permit. This synod was held under the present incumbent^ Rt. Rev. Angelo Marquina Corrales, who was appomted
