- W2106598960 abstract "Mauritius is well known to be of volcanic origin, as is also the neighbouring island of Réunion, where there exists a volcano in constant activity. There is this great difference between the two islands: Mauritius is surrounded by coral-reefs, which protect nearly the whole of its coast, and by their shelter form excellent harbours, while the coast of Réunion is exposed to the full force of the ocean. The action of the waves is so strong on its shores that not a particle of the basaltic sand which strews them presents an angle. Its beach exhibits nothing but a mass of pebbles, varying in size from a foot or more in diameter to particles almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The reefs of Mauritius support various islets, which have been generally regarded as forming an integral part of them, though rising to as much as thirty feet above the sea-level. Gabriel Islet, is partly basaltic and partly calcareous; and it is on the latter that the late Dr. P. Ayres discovered the fossilized remains of a forest, of which he gave an account at the Meeting of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of Mauritius, in 1860. Egret Island stands on a calcareous bottom surrounded by sand between the reef and the shore, about a mile from the former and half that from the latter, with a depth of water varying from half a fathom to a fathom. This island, which rises to a height of about thirty feet," @default.
