of new vertebrates too. Twenty-five new species of birds were 
discovered, the classification of which was greatly facilitated with 
the aid of Reichenow’s great work on African ornithology. 
The ethnographical-anthropological results were as follows: 
1,017 skulls and about 4,000 ethnographica were collected, 4,500 
people measured, 700 photographs and thirty-six plaster of paris 
masks taken (eight Batwa and five Wambutti amongst them), and 
87 phonograms and 37 languages recorded. A preliminary 
report from Czekanowski’s pen on the anthropological-ethno¬ 
graphical labours of the expedition during the period from the 
1st of June, 1907, to the ist of August, 1908 (including an ethno¬ 
graphical chart of the Nile-Congo-Intermediate territory), is to 
be found in the Zeitschrift fur Ethnologies Jahrgangs 1909, 
volume V. 
Such, in broad outlines, are the scientific results of our ex¬ 
pedition into the heart of Africa in so far as they can be summed 
up at present. They have not been left without recognition by 
the critical experts of the Royal Berlin Museums, and should 
they on closer investigation prove to be a valuable contribution to 
our knowledge of Equatorial Africa, as is confidently expected, 
we shall think ourselves fully rewarded for our labours and 
hardships.
