DIscovRRrRs IN Central AFRICA. 49, Equato-
rial Africa has been laid open, and the err
roneous IDEAS which once prevailed upon the
subject altogether dissipated. Instead Of the
massive Mountains of the Moon, there are a
few isolated mounts where dry desolated
plateau was expected, there have been found
wide and fertile plains, less than 1000 feet
above the level Of tine sea, aud intersected
by inumerable broad water courses with
scarcely any inclination. 81 am persuaded"
says DR.. Barth, z that in less than fifty years
European boats will keep up regular annual
intercourse between the great basin Of the
Tsad and the Bay Of Biafra. The whole
country between the rivers Benuwe and
Shari is extremely rich and fertile, intersec-
ted by countless water courses in every di-
rection. Cotton, indigo. vegetable butter,
ground-nut. ivory, wax, and many other ar
ticles might be procured in abundance from
these regions, the only question being what
should be imported in exchange for thems"
