Prescott, of which/whom I&#39;ll try to produce a scan next week), but <br/>
20nm or so seems right. Saints Martin and Bartholomew form a little <br/>
exclave of the French exclave Gaudeloupe; bordered by Anguilla, <br/>
Antigua & Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis and (of course) the Netherlands <br/>
Antilles. The tripoint with Anguilla is tight inshore, as you say.<br/>
<br/>
Hmmm. I&#39;ve missed and unwittingly revisited several things in this <br/>
group already. But nothing daunted ... do we have a name for an <br/>
exclave *of* an exclave? <br/>
No dry land examples, for sure, but at the EEZ level (what else?) the <br/>
top of my head offers (in addition to the Gaudeloupe example above): <br/>
Bassas da India + Ile Europa + Juan de Nova (Reunion [France]); Iles <br/>
Glorieuses (Reunion [France]); Ile Clipperton (French Polynesia <br/>
[France]); Ascension (St Helena [UK]); Tristan Group (St Helena [UK]).<br/>
Ile Tromelin is also a Reunion dependency, but its EEZ merges with <br/>
Reunion&#39;s. <br/>
Do any other countries but Britain (definitely) and France (I think) <br/>
acknowledge such sub-let dependencies?<br/>
