the Corisco at Banana. Documentary proofs of his trip, including 
translations of safe-conducts and firmans from the sultans of Bor- 
nu and Socoto, etc., are, he says, under lock and key at Brussels, 
and will, with the originals, be produced. Herr Krause heard 
nothing of his movements, because he did not reach the coast there, 
but at Portonuovo, some forty-five miles further west. Nothing 
was heard of him in the Yoruba country, because he passed 200 
miles to the east of it. The African travelers, Yuncker and 
Casati, are, according to a telegram received in Berlin, at Lado, 
an Egyptian military post on the Bahr-el-Jebel. M. Cou- 
dreau has, as one of the results of his six journeys in Guiana, 
brought back materials for two new maps, the one of the region 
between the Oyapock, Yari, Amazons, and Atlantic, the other of 
Southern Guiana between the Branco and Paru. M. Ballay, 
at the meeting of the Geographical Society of Paris, on April 
25th, gave an account of his journey with two canoes (in sec- 
tions) to the Alima from the Upper Ogowé. The intervening 
region is an arid steppe strewn with human remains. e estab- 
lished a peace with the Apfurus. M. Leon Guiral has sent 
to the Geographical Society at Paris, a description of the west 
coast of Africa about the mout&s of the San Benito or Eyo and 
the Dote, 714 miles further south. The Eyo is a mile in width 
at its mouth. Banks of rocks bar the entrance, but the left arm 
is navigable for vessels drawing two meters of water. The banks 
are marshy. M. Guiral ascended it about thirty kilometers, to Ini- 
ger, where there are falls. It has several tributaries, some of 
them navigable for canoes. The Dote is a river of little importance, 
with marshy banks, and is about a meter deep and forty meters 
wide along the lower part of its course. It can be ascended in a 
canoe for about twenty-one miles. The commerce of the district 
concentrates in the village on the right bank from which it takes 
its name. The natives are tall and are good canoe-men, but given 
to brandy. The death of Mirambo, in December last, is con- 
firmed ; it was followed in January by that of Kapura, his princi-

Karuma and Mpala to the Algerian missionaries, who previously 
Possessed five establishments in the region of the Great Lakes. 
— The protectorate of France now extends along the whole 
north coast of the Gulf of Tadjura as far as Bahr-Assal, and M. 
Caspari states that the relations of France with the Danakils are 
cordial. Obock is at least a safe and easily accessible harbor, 
and the abundance of water renders possible the cultivation of 
vegetables. The German East African Expedition, com- 
menced five years ago, has now been brought to a close, an 
Herr Paul Reichard, its only survivor, has probably by this time 
reached Zanzibar. Dr. Bohm and Herr Reichard crossed the 
Luapula into Urua, where the former died. After his death his 
Companion ascended the Lufira as far as the famous copper
