Abstract
THE title of this work is perhaps somewhat misleading. The reader who expects the book to contain only discussions of speculative questions will be agreeably surprised, by finding that the positive contributions made in it to our knowledge of the geology, botany and zoology of Central East Africa are of the most extensive and valuable character. The two expeditions which the author undertook in 1896 and 1899 to Lake Tanganyika and the surrounding districts, following upon the researches of earlier travellers, have thrown a flood of light upon both the geological structure and the fauna and flora of this part of the world, while they have incidentally suggested a number of difficult problems of no small interest alike to the geologist and the biologist.
