I fully agree with Mr. Godwin-Austen, that the present condition of the Malay Archipelago, with its numerous large islands separated by wide and shallow seas, probably represents the former state of Europe, while most of our formations were accumulating.
Oso bat nator Godwin-Austen jaunarekin, Malaysiar artxipelagoko egungo egoera, itsaso zabal eta azalez bananduriko irla askorekin, Europak aitzina, gure formaziorik gehienak metatu zirenean, ziurrenik izan zuen egoera adierazten duela.
