mapped on the charts of the geogra-
piers OF the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. In 1906 the Portuguese sen
captain. Fernando Svarez. discovered
the real island of Madagascar and
gave it the name of st. Lorenz. and
for time thereafter two islands found
their place on the charts. In 1881 it
was known that there was really only
one island. and in accordance with
this discovery the original name of
Madagascar was retained, and the
other name was dropped.
