Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antananarivo Annual and Madagascar Magazine, Vol. 1: A Record of Information on the Topography and Natural Productions of Madagascar, and the Customs, Traditions, Language, and Religious Beliefs of Its People; Christmas, 1875 In Philology it would be of great service in perfecting our know ledge of Malagasy to record any words not already given in our dictionaries, especially lists of words in other dialects than the Hove; noting down words used in some districts in a different sense from their customary usage in Imerina, and giving the names of animals, plants, or places in which uncommon or hitherto unknown words are used, as in these names words may be fossilized which have become obsolete in ordinary usage, but yet may form valuable links of connection with well-known roots.
