All these provinces are very fertile, and abound in 
cattle and pasturage. Their geographical situations 
may be seen by referring to the map; but as many of 
them are very small, and some of them uninhabited, 
in consequence of being devastated by intestine wars, 
we shall give a description only of those most de» 
serving of notice. 
Anossi.—This province is situated between 23°. 18'. 
and % 6 °. of latitude. It is nearly two hundred miles 
long, and was the principal theatre of the operations 
of the French in most of their attempts to establish 
themselves on the island. The principal settlement 
was at Fort Dauphin, which stands on the penin¬ 
sula of Tholangari, in 25°. 10. latitude *. The 
country is rich and watered by many rivers, the 
principal of which are the Franchere and the Man- 
ghasia; most of the rest run into the Franchere, 
which rises on Mount Manghage, and falls into the 
sea about two leagues south of Fort Dauphin. A

lies wholly south of the equator.
