Robert Herman Schomljurgk, a German ex- 

 plorer, was born in Freiburg on the Unstrutli, 

 Prussia, June 4, 1804 ; died in Schiinebei-g. near 

 Berlin, March 11, 180.5. He entered <'oihiu< rcial 

 life, and in 1826 came to tlie United Stati-s, 

 where, after working as a clerk in Boston and 

 Philadeljdiia, he became a jiartiier in 1S28 in a 

 tobacco manufactory at Richmond. Va. The 

 factory was burned and Schomburgk was 

 ruined. After unsuccessfnl ventures in the 

 West Indies and Ck-ntral Awierica, he went to 

 the island of Anegada, one of the Virgin 

 gi'oup, where he undertook ts m.ike a sur\ev of 

 the coast. Although he did not ]>ossess the 

 special knowledge tliat is required for sucli a 

 work, he jierformed it well, and his reports |iro- 

 ctu'ed liim in 1834, from the Geograpliieal Soci- 

 ety of London and some botanists, means to 

 explore the interior of Biitish Guiana, wliich 

 was then entirely luiknown. After a thorough 

 exploration during 1833-1839, he went to London 

 in the summer of 1839 witli valuable collections 

 of animals and plants, mostly new species. 

 Schomburgk sailed again froiu London for 

 Georgetown in December, 1840, as ])re«icliiit of 

 a commissicm to determine tlu' boundary line 

 between British Guiana and Brazil, and to 

 make further geographical and ethnological 

 observations. He was .ioined there liy Iiis 

 brother. Moritz Richard. On their return to 

 London in Jiuie, 1844, Schomburgk presented a 

 report of his journey to the Geographical 

 Society, for which the queen knighted liini in 

 1845. After a few montlis' rest he was given 

 an ap]>ointment in the colonial department 

 and sent tomake researches up<m the idioms of 

 the aborigines of Soutli America. In 184S lie 

 read before tlie British Association a paper in 

 which he proposed an .alphabetical system for 

 the Indian dialects. — Appletoii's Cyclop, of Am.
