Abstract
The territory, known as the Cameroons, runs inland from the Gulf of Guinea to the south of Nigeria. A coastal plain gives way to a densely forested plateau at an altitude of about 600 m. In the north, the country is cut by a mountainous volcanic belt, capped by Mount Cameroon rising to 4,000 m, which in turn gives way to high savannah approaching Lake Chad.
