Abstract

The Gold Coast, including that portion of Togoland which is mandated to Great Britain, comprises an area of 91,843 square miles lying between the parallels 4° 45′ N. and 11°N. and the meridians 1° 10′ E. and 3° 10′ W. The greater part of the southern area is covered with dense forest, but in the north the forest gradually opens out to more open “orchard-bush”, while in the extreme north the country consists of rolling plains covered with tall elephant-grass.
