Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar, parts of Somaliland, the south of Africa, and the extreme southern portion of Patagonia, probably since early Lemurian days.
East of the mountainous region of which Madagascar formed a part, around the smaller of the two great lakes, on the earlier map.
If it covered every land now inhabited by Lemuroid animals, it would run from West Africa to Burmah, South China, and Celebes, "an area which it possibly did once occupy." Elsewhere Wallace uses an old connection between the Ethiopian sub-region and Madagascar to explain the Lemurine type.
Blandford is arguing a former land from the West Coast of India to the Seychelles, Madagascar, and the Mauritius, along coral atolls and banks: Adas bank, the Laccadives, the Maldives, the Chagos group, and the Saya de Mulha.

Hilaire, "five and thirty years ago," that Madagascar, judged by zoology alone, would be neither Asiatic nor African, almost a fourth continent, and more different from nearby Africa than from distant India.
That fourth continent, Hartlaub says, is Sclater's Lemuria: a sunken land containing parts of Africa, extending far east over Southern India and Ceylon, whose highest points are the volcanic peaks of Bourbon and Mauritius and the central range of Madagascar, "the last resorts of the almost extinct Lemurine race which formerly peopled it."
A comparison of the two maps here given, along with the four maps of Atlantis, will also show that Australia and New Zealand, Madagascar, parts of Somaliland, the south of Africa, and the extreme southern portion of Patagonia are lands which have probably existed through all the intervening catastrophes since the early days of the Lemurian period.
It lay to the east of the mountainous region of which the present Island of Madagascar formed a part, and thus occupied a central position around the smaller of the two great lakes.
The first cities were on the extended mountainous region which, on the first map, included the present island of Madagascar (p.
One city on Madagascar; others on continent.
The continent also encompassed lands in the Indian Ocean and Madagascar.
During this time, Type B mtDNA spread to the Philippines, Borneo, Madagascar, and Polynesia, with movements continuing until about 1,000 years ago.
Lemuria existed around 75,000 years ago, located in areas now known as the Pacific Ocean, Madagascar, New Zealand, India, Southeast Asia, Hawaii, and parts of North America.
According to Steiner, the Lemurians inhabited the continent of Lemuria, which, in Theosophical literature, is said to have been located in the south of Asia, extending from Ceylon to Madagascar, including parts of modern southern Asia and Africa.
The concept of Lemuria began with 19th-century zoologist Philip Sclater, who proposed a lost continent named Lemuria to explain the presence of lemur fossils in India and Madagascar but not in Africa.
The inhabitants of Madagascar have a strange myth touching the origin of woman.
As time went on, Andrianerinerina and Andriambavirano had many children, and their descendants spread across the land, populating Madagascar.
According to one of the origin myths of the Merina people from the central Highlands of Madagascar, Andrianerinerina is believed to be the son of God (Zanahary) and the ancestor of the Merina rulers.
The legend says that Zanahary's son came down to Earth at a place called Anerinerina (north of Angavokely) to play with the Vazimba, the original inhabitants of Madagascar.
According to the legend, Madagascar's central highlands were originally inhabited by the Vazimba people.

In Secret Doctrine geography the land runs from Himalayan foothills through India, Ceylon, Sumatra, Madagascar, Australia and Tasmania into the Pacific beyond Easter Island.
The continent also encompassed lands in the Indian Ocean and Madagascar.
It underwent disruptions over ages: Norway submerged, volcanic outbursts around 700,000 years before the Eocene destroyed much of it, leaving fragments like Australia, Madagascar, and Easter Island.
