I think that you have mixed up your question with another question. Geographically, the British Isles are the islands of Britain and Ireland and all of their offshore islands. Politically, these two islands are comprised of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which is broken down into the four countries that you might be referring to, is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The five countries contained within the British Isles are:
England
Scotland
Wales (these three together are called Britain)
Northern Ireland (with Britain, this makes the United Kingdom)
Republic of Ireland (with the United Kingdom, this makes the British Isles)
and technically the Isle of Man is a separate nation which is not part of the UK, GB or Ireland
Geographically, the British Isles are the two main islands of Britain and Ireland and all of their off-shore islands. If you are asking which four countries make up the United Kingdom - they are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The rest of the island of Ireland is the Republic of Ireland.
