- W2029143531 abstract "TOMINICA has always been veiled in a halo of mystery. i-/Vague rumors of smoking mountains, of springs flowing liquid -sulphur, and of caverns of prodigious dimensions have invested it with more than ordinary interest. The island was discovered by Columbus on his second westward voyage in I493. It belongs to the Windward Group, the whole of which form a portion of a circle directly east of the Caribbean sea. Geographically Dominica is located about at N. lat. i50, and 610 long. W. of Greenwich, and its climate, consequently, is subtropical. Without entering into details, which here would carry us beyond our limits, it mnay be said that the entire Windward Group belongs to one geological system. Generally speaking we may regard these islands-excepting Antigua, Barbadoes and Trinidad-as the highest remaining portions of an extensive eruption, the age of which falls near or into the Eocene period. From their orographic character, as well as from their relative position, the temptation is great to consider them the projecting points of the eastern side of one huge, serrated crater-rim. Detailed observations are too meagre as yet, however, to attempt the establishment of any such hypothesis. Lithologically speaking the erupted material shown on Dominica strikingly resembles that of the southern Wasatch range. Even in special arrangement of the trachytic series the analogy is remarkable. It is furthermore borne out, on this and other islands, by the general contours of elevations, and by the similarity of the effects produced by extensive erosion. Rising abruptly from the sea, the shores of Dominica afford" @default.
