Synopsis
This book examines the results of an expedition to the Great African Lakes, including Tanganyika, Nyasa, and Kivu, with a particular focus on the zoological evidence found for a past connection between Lake Tanganyika and the sea. The author provides a detailed account of the physical geography and geology of the lakes and surrounding regions, as well as the results of his own zoological investigations, which involved the collection and analysis of numerous specimens of molluscs, crustaceans, and other aquatic organisms. The author argues that the geological evidence supports the hypothesis that Lake Tanganyika was once connected to the sea, as evidenced by the presence of marine fossils and other geological features. He also discusses the historical and evolutionary significance of this connection, particularly in the context of the theories relating to the origins of the African Great Lakes. This study is of great importance to the fields of limnology, evolutionary biology, and the history of geology, providing insights into the geological and ecological history of one of the world's oldest and most unique lake systems.
