Abstract
AS our readers are aware several schemes have recently been before the public for the creation of an inland sea in North Africa, one of the most ambitious and most impracticable of these being the flooding of a great part of the Sahara. Another scheme which has engaged the attention of the French Government for some time is much more feasible and likely to be attended with good results. The Report of a Commission on the plan proposed by M. Roudaire for the creation of an inland Algerian sea was recently presented to the French Academy of Sciences by M. Favé, and as it contains several points of scientific interest, we propose to lay it before our readers.
