H. A. BROUWER and N. WING EASTON'). 



1. PREPARATORY MATTER. 



Though every scientific explorer may be supposed to be acquainted 

 with the persons or institutions, where he can gather information 

 about the details of his special branch, it seems desirable to give 

 some general indications. There are various societies and institutions, 

 whose special object is the scientific exploration of the Dutch 

 Indies, or the furthering of this ideal in one way or another. 

 These are very willing to oblige the traveller with information.
