There's an incredibly short Burroughs book about Madagascar (to relate to another thread) and all the weird lemurs.  Then he gets off on rants about deadly diseases, homosexuality and pirates.

Yeah, and Australia doesn't have the connection with a mythical Atlantis like land and all that.  Warping and twisting Lemuria around could be interesting, but as UA already has warped the stories of Atlantis, it could wait.
