In the western region the system develops two distinct chains separated by an intervening space of some 25 miles. In the northern chain rises the Mitaraca ' belvedere,' while the culminating peaks, Timotakem and Temomaïrem, dominate the southern ridge. Towards the east the two chains are connected by transverse offshoots, and towards the north they throw off ramifying ridges, which enclose the Maroni basin and separate it from that of the Oyapok. Farther on the eastern section of the system is prolonged in the direction of the east, without, however, forming a continuous divide between the river valleys. * Etude de la chaîne des monts Tumuc-Humac ; MS.
