GEOGRAPHY AND TRAVELS! 
The Cameroons:—The Polish explorer Rogozinski, leaving his 
ship at Santa Isabeila (Fernando Po) proceeded by canoe to the 
Bay of Ambas, at the foot of the Cameroons mountains, and 
fixed his station at Mundaleh or Mundoleh, one of the islands in 
this bay. This island was ceded to him by treaty. He then set 
himself to explore the great Cameroons river, the embouchure of 
which is a vast estuary into which empty themselves three other 
‘vers, the Mungo, from the Cameroons mountains to the north, 
the Lungasi and the Qua-qua or Edee. He was not able to pro- 
ceed more than sixty-five leagues up the Cameroons, on account 
of the opposition of the people and of the king of the country. 
Meanwhile his ship was destroyed by a hurricane, yet he contin- 
ued to work upon the establishment of his station, and on August 
oy a Started with, M, C. Lomezek on an exploration of the 
Mungo he travelers succeeded in discovering the upper

the ferenganyas, to the frontiers of that tribe, but their hope to

Po M. de Rogozinski traversed the Cameroons mountains
