[Footnote 72: Such fossils as are found in the Equatorial rocks are
recent species, and the fault harbours of the coast have not had
time to lose altogether the peculiar characters of such structures
under the influence of the rivers which enter them and the strong
tidal currents.]
[Footnote 73: The gypsum often found between the sandstone and
the coral was most probably formed by the drying up of a _shallow_
sea which occupied the site before the Rift Valley appeared, and
probably the sandstones are the sediments deposited in the same sea;
also parts of the present maritime plain were formed as the shore
deposits of this ancient sea.]
[Footnote 74: The forms Salak and Shalak are both used by the
natives.]
