  Travels 
  in 
  Africa 
  during 
  the 
  years 
  1882-1886. 
  By 
  Dr. 
  Wilhelm 
  

   Junker.

  by

  These 
  two 
  volumes 
  complete 
  the 
  account 
  o£ 
  Junker's 
  

   explorations 
  of 
  the 
  tropics 
  of 
  Eastern 
  Africa, 
  and, 
  we 
  regret 
  

   to 
  say, 
  announce 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  this 
  celebrated 
  traveller, 
  which 
  

   took 
  place 
  at 
  St. 
  Petersburg 
  in 
  February 
  1892. 
  Ornitholo- 
  

   gists 
  will 
  recollect 
  Dr. 
  Sharpens 
  paper 
  on 
  Bohndorff's 
  

   collection 
  published 
  in 
  1884 
  (see 
  Ibis, 
  1885, 
  p. 
  115). 
  Now 
  

   Bohndorff 
  was 
  Junker's 
  companion 
  for 
  some 
  years, 
  but 
  left 
  

   him 
  just 
  in 
  time 
  to 
  make 
  his 
  escape 
  by 
  the 
  northern 
  route 
  

   from 
  the 
  Upper 
  Nile 
  before 
  it 
  was 
  closed 
  by 
  the 
  Mahdist 
  

   rebellion. 
  Bohndorff 
  thus 
  saved 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  his 
  own 
  collections, 
  

   but 
  those 
  that 
  he 
  made 
  for 
  Junker 
  were 
  unfortunately 
  lost 
  

   when 
  the 
  latter 
  was 
  forced 
  to 
  escape 
  towards 
  the 
  south 
  and 
  

   join 
  Emin 
  Pasha 
  at 
  Wadelai. 
  Many 
  allusions 
  to 
  birds, 
  

   however, 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  Junker's 
  journals, 
  and 
  some 
  good 
  

   woodcut 
  illustrations 
  of 
  characteristic 
  species. 
  Junker 
  met 
  

   with 
  Balaeniceps 
  rex 
  on 
  the 
  White 
  Nile 
  (i. 
  p. 
  45) 
  and 
  

   obtained 
  living 
  specimens 
  (i. 
  p. 
  65). 
  The 
  Numida 
  obtained 
  

   in 
  Amadi-land 
  on 
  the 
  Welle 
  and 
  figured 
  (i. 
  p. 
  423) 
  could 
  

   hardly 
  be 
  N. 
  vulturina 
  and 
  is 
  probably 
  new. 
  The 
  northern 
  

   limit 
  of 
  Psittacus 
  erithacus 
  in 
  this 
  country 
  is 
  stated 
  to 
  

   *' 
  coincide 
  with 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  Welle-Makua," 
  although 
  

   stray 
  birds 
  are 
  sometimes 
  met 
  with 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  that 
  

   river 
  (ii. 
  p. 
  260).
