habitations

The habitations of the poor are less wretched than those of Italy, but not equal to those of the fertile portion of Switzerland.

Now, as you know, by far the greater part of the land is well cultivated and thickly covered with habitations.

This strip of land from ocean to ocean abounded in disease-breeding swamps and filthy habitations unfit for human beings.

Their habitations, aside from the mere leaf shelters, had probably a similar origin.

I could not understand the convenience or necessity for these kind of habitations.
