InterestingCountry.

Geographically.Madagascarisvery interesting.Itisnot,asis,e.g.,TasmaniaorNewGuinea,acontinental island,separatedfromthemainland

byacontinentalshelf,100fathoms,or less,belowthesurface.TheMozambiqueChannel,betweenAfricaand Madagascar,isdeep,verydeep.Still, astherocksshow,theislandwas oncepartofAfrica,asalsowasArabia.

Thereare,ofcourse,othertheoriesto explaintheundoubtedconnectionthat onceexistedbetweentheseplaces,and alsowithSouthAmerica,butWegener'sthesiscertainlyexplainssome verystrangefactsthatotherwisewe cannotaccountfor.

AProblemClimate.

TheclimateofMadagascaralsopresentsproblems.Thesouthandthe south-westoftheislandhaveameagre rainfall,under15inches,andtheclimateandvegetationisnotunlikethe LittleKarrooofSouthAfrica.Andit cannotbesimplyexplainedby"rain shadow."Andthere,forthepresent, wemustleaveit.Elsewhereconditionsarewhatwewouldexpect.The eastcoastishotandsteamy,withrain fromtheTradesalltheyear.Here arethedenserainforeststhatoccupy aboutone-eighthoftheislandwith ebony,rosewood,andothervaluable timbers.Theinteriorplateauofworn downoldrockshasafineclimate, somethinglikethatofKenya,while thenorth-west,withonlysummer rains,ispartlygrassland.
