The Karstlands of Western Yugoslavia

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Western Yugoslavia, which broadly corresponds to the ancient Roman province of Illyricum, includes Dalmatia, Herzegovina, and Montenegro, together with the western portions of Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia. It is a region of high geological interest, for within it and the adjoining portions of Italy the “Carso” or“Karst” lands are developed on a scale perhaps unequalled elsewhere. Considerable attention has been devoted from time to time to their leading features by Austrian, Italian, and Serbian geologists, though the study of these land forms has hitherto received but little attention in England. No excuse therefore seems necessary for drawing attention to some of the more salient features of this interesting district.
