The last accounts of our correspondent Freiherr Th. von 

 Heuglin are dated the 4th June 1863, from Lake Rek, on the 

 White Nile, whither he had accompanied Madame Tinneh and 

 her daughters. He had been very dangerously ill from dysentery 

 and scurvy, and had been left behind by his party, v^^ho were 

 some ten days' journey ahead of him ; but, having recovered to 

 some extent, had set out to rejoin them. V. Heuglin's latest 

 ornithological news is given in Cabanis' Journal, pt. iv. 1863.
