The See also:east end of St Michael's rises from a head-

a central range (2000 to 2500 ft.) runs westward, terminating on the south See also:coast in the Serra da Agoa do See also:Pau, about half-way across the island

The range gradually declines in approaching its last point, where it is not more than too ft. high

The middle part of the island is See also:lower, and more undulating, its western extremity being marked by the conspicuous Serra Gorda (1572 ft.); its shores on both sides are See also:low, broken and rocky

The aspect of the western portion of the island is that of a vast truncated See also:cone, irregularly cut off at an See also:elevation of about 800 ft., and falling on the See also:north, south and west sides• to a perpendicular coast between 300 and Boo ft. high

In the highest parts an undergrowth of shrubs gives the mountains a See also:rich and wooded See also:appearance

Like all volcanic countries, the island has an uneven See also:surface with numerous ravines, and streams of semi-vitrified and scoriaceous See also:lava which resist all atmospheric influences and repel vegetation

Heavy rains falling on the mountains afford a See also:constant See also:supply of water to four lakes at the bottom of See also:extinct craters, to a number of See also:minor reservoirs, and through them, to small rapid streams on all sides

Hot springs abound in many parts, and vapour issues from almost every crevice
