Abstract
THE April number of Petermann's Mittheilungen contains a paper of considerable geographical and geological value by Dr. Edmund Naumann, on the Plain of Yedo, Japan; it is accompanied by several illustrations and a fine map. Lieut. Onatzewich's account of his cruise in the clipper Wssadnik to the north of Behring Strait in 1876, is well timed in connection with the Vega's sojourn in that region. Dr. von Scherzer contributes an interesting paper on anthropometry, and Capt. Johannesen describes the voyage of the Lena from the mouth of the River Lena to Jakutsk. The monthly summary contains as usual, many interesting items.
