'Travels and Discoveries in North and Central Africa'. By

and physical character of Central Africa. Instead of lofty mountains and
sandy deserts, we have a wide basin, or rather series of basins, with
lakes and great rivers, and a soil fertile even when compared with the

northward from the Cape of Good Hope, approached the equator from the
south as nearly as Barth did from the north. He then traversed the
whole breadth of the continent diagonally from the west to the east.
His special researches cover the entire space between the eighth and
fifteenth parallels of south latitude. Between the regions explored by
Barth and Livingstone lies an unexplored tract extending eight degrees
