ABSTRACT
The undulating plain behind the lagoons is savanna country with a soil of red latente alternating with sand, rising gradually until, at a distance of about twenty to thirty miles inland, igneous rock and gneiss appear. The plain is first broken by the isolated Adaklu hill (1965 ft.) then, a little farther north, about 75 miles from the coast, by the south-eastern fringe of the Togo hills, a continuation of the Akwapim ridge in the Gold Coast, which stretches both north and north-east across Togoland. The more southerly parts of this range which, at its greatest height, reaches to about 2,500 feet, are overgrown with forest.
