expeditions, Philadelphia was for a long time the centre of activity of 
this work, as the Arctic expeditions of Kane, Hays and Peary and 
the South American expeditions of Orton and Smith testify. Abbott 
and Donaldson Smith the African explorers, are Philadelphians, as is 
also Rockhill, who traversed Thibet and China a few years ago. Ann 
Arbor University has sent two expeditions to the Philippine Islands, 
and Iowa University sent one to Central America, and oneto the Arc- 
tic regions northof Mackenzie’s River, of which we gave an account in 
the last number of the Naruratist. New York sent Rusby to Bolivia 
-nd Peru, and more recently Weberto Java. There have been several 
expeditions nearer home, as to the West Indies and Labrador and 
Central America. We do not refer to Government expeditions, which 
were more frequent formerly than of recent years.
