Abstract
LIEUT. A. LOUIS PALANDER, of the Swedish Royal Navy, was last week elected a Corresponding Member of the French Geographical Society, in acknowledgment of his brilliant services to geography as commander of the Vega during the late Arctic Expedition. We understand that the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences have just caused a handsome bronze medal to be struck in commemoration of the successful accomplishment of this enterprise. This medal shows on one side the heads of Prof. Nordenskjöld and Lieut. Palander, and on the other a wellexecuted representation of the Vega surrounded by ice.
