EtE missing continent or At
lantis. whose extraordi-
nary story as told by the
Greek philosopher, Plato, is at
once a fascinating romance and
the greatest of geographical inys-
teries, has again become the sub
Ject OF learned discussion.
was there or was there not
formerly a continent in the midst
OF the Atlantic Ocean? If it sank
suddenly under the waves, with
all its splendid cities, as the tradi-
tons gathered by Plato declared
are any traces Of 1t now to be
found on the bottom Of the sea ?
In the light Of modern science is
1t possible to admit that catss-
trophe or such unexampled mag
nitude as the swallowing I'D of a
whole continent could occur?
These are some of the questions
reaWakened by the investigation
OF the subject which M. l.. Ger
main has recently published in the
"Annales de Geographic
The clue to the mystery that M.
Germain follows is that which is
furnished by the existence Of the
island groups Of the Canaries, the
Madeiras, Cape de Verde and
the Azores. These islands lie in
deep water near the place where
Plato said Atlantis existed. AL
though they are widely separated,
they possess plants and animals Of
the same species, and these spe-
Giles are similar to those found in
Southwestern Europe and North
ern Africa, but entirely different
from those Of Equatorial Africa.
This fact is regarded as indi-
eating that the islands in question
once formed part Of continuous
continent. which was either di-
rectly connected with Southern
Europe and Northern Africa by
bridge of land, or lay so close to
them that animals and plants
could easily cross over the inter
vening strip OF sea.
Moreover, there are living In
these islands species Of plants and
animals which once existed, but
now exist no longer. in Europe,
where their remains are to be
found in deposits of the Tertiary
Age. The explanation would seem
to be that these plants and ami
mails lived contemporaneously in
Europe and the continent Of At
lantis during Tertiary times, but
have since become extinct in Eu-
rope, although they continue to
exist on the islands which are the
only visible remains of Atlantis.
But there is another curious
fact to be considered. The living
species inhabiting these mysteri~
Gus islands not only resemble
those of Southern Europe and
Northern Africa, but also those of
the West India Islands and Cen
trail America. This suggests that
the continent OF Atlantis ex-
tended completely across the
ocean and was connected with
America on the west.
Atlantis then, was as closely
associated with the New World as
with the Old and formed a means

The ups and downs Of tn.

ties OF the present day, the Ger

clared in advance that he sees n,
reason why parts of the ocean or
even the dry land, may not to-
morrow sink to form new depths
Suess even thinks that Greenland
may be one Of the remnants OF an
ancient continent which occunied
large part OF the Atlantic basin
and which could have been no
other than that tabled land of Al
lantiS, echoes of whose vanished
glories were yet vibrating in hu-
