The finished parts of the map represent the regions completely surveyed by the Dutch. the south-eastern peninsula. The framework of these highlands consists of gneiss and granites, which in some places crop out above the secondary and tertiary rocks of both slopes. A lateral ridge of gneiss, radiating from the central nucleus, forms the backbone of the Balante peninsula, while that of Macassar, traversed in 1888 by Weber and Wichmann, is also dominated by crystalline or paleozoic ranges,.
