<note type="editorial">Called central basin and central valley by Livingstone.
Roderick Murchison, the President of the Royal Geographical Society, had
proposed in 1852 that the physical structure of southern Africa was an
elevated "central trough or basin" encircled by a highland ridge. Although
based on limited information and mistaken geological premises, his
theoretical speculation proved largely correct. Livingstone came to the same
view of Africa's continental structure during his cross-continental
expedition, and considered his observations to provide empirical
confirmation of Murchison's proposition (Stafford 1988:8, 17; Murchison
1852:cxxii; Livingstone 1857aa:475, 500; Schapera 1963,2:314).</note>

conflict was the result of power struggles in the Middle East, and was
precipitated by a dispute between the Ottomans and the Russians over the
protection of Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman Empire. It was a badly
organised campaign, with infection and unsanitary conditions responsible for
a large proportion of lives lost (Kohn 2013:133).</note>
