MACEI& or MACAYO, a city and port of Brazil and capital of the state of Alagoas, about 125 M . S.S.W. of Pernambuco, in lat. g° 39` 35° S., long . 35° 44' 36" W . Pop. including a large rural district and several villages (189o), 31,498; (1908, estimate), 33,000 . The city stands at the foot of low bluffs, about a mile from the shore line . The water-side village of Jaragua, the port of Macei6, is practically a suburb of the city . South of the port is the shallow entrance to the Lagoa do Norte, of Lagoa Mnndah{, a salt-water lake extending inland for some miles . Macei6 is attractively situated in the midst of large plantations of coca-nut and dende palms, though the broad sandy beach in front and the open sun-burned plain behind give a barren character to its surroundings . The heat is moderated by the S.E. trade winds, and the city is considered healthful . The public buildings are mostly constructed of broken stone and mortar, plastered outside and covered with red tiles, but the common dwellings are generally constructed of tapiarough trellis-work walls filled in with mud .

A

light tramway connects the city and port, and a railway—the Alagoas Central —connects the two with various interior towns . The port is formed by a stone reef running parallel with and a half-mile from the shore line, within which vessels of light draft find a safe anchorage, except from southerly gales . Ocean-going steamers anchor outside the reef . The exports consist principally of sugar, cotton, and rum (aguardiente) . Maceio dates from 1815 when a small settlement there was created a " villa." In 1839 it became ' the provincial capital and was made a city by the provincial assembly .
