Mr. Grenfell has made another exploring voyage devoted to the 
Lulongo and the Boruki, the only rivers of importance that re- 
mained unexplored between the Kasai and the Lomame. e 
Lulongo falls into the Congo in 18° 42’ E, long. and 0° 41’ N. 
lat. Mr. Grenfell ascended it to 22° 32’ E. long. and 10’ N. lat.; 
it therefore runs nearly parallel to the main stream. The Boruki 
is formed by the union of three rivers, one of which, the Juapa, 
was ascended as far as 23° 14’ E. long. and 1° 1’ S. lat., where it 
was still an open water-way one hundred yards wide and twelve 
18” S. Three rivers, flowing north and south, probably tributaries 
of the Vermejo, were discovered. The natives, Chunupis, Velolas 
up the Nikerie, which flows through a well-wooded but unin- 
habited region, and returned down the Nikerie and up the 
Corentin to Oneala. M. Thouar, according to the Brazil and 
River Plate Mail, has returned successfully from his second Jour- 
ney up the Pilcomayo, and has proved the river to be navigable.
