Art. XVI.—On the Botany, Geology, &c., of the country between Tamatave and Antananarivo, in Madagascar

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 March 2011

Extract

In compliance with your request that I should furnish a few particulars on the botanical features of the country we passed through, on our way to Antananarivo, I will reduce my journal, and give as many salient points of the road as I can remember, begging you to have in mind that, in so hurried a journey, it is impossible to do justice to the materials supplied, and that our visit having been made in the winter season, a just appreciation of the country could not be formed. From specimens of timber sub-sequently obtained from a part of the island, remote from that of our road to the capital, I am able to aver that no opinion of the size or value of the woods can be formed from any seen on our journey.
