Abstract
LETTERS have been received from Baron N. de Miklouho-Maclay from the Suez Canal, the distinguished traveller being now on his way back to Australia. During his prolonged and arduous experience of eleven years' life amongst Melanesian and other savages of the Pacific his health has, we are sorry to say, suffered very seriously, and he returns to Sydney mainly on this account, since he finds that the climate of New South Wales suits him best. He intends to call at Batavia on the way out, where he left a part of his collections in 1878, in order to convey these to Sydney, where the main bulk of the gatherings of his many journeys is already stored. The Emperor of Russia, with enlightened liberality, has promised to defray the cost of the publication of the scientific account of Baron de Maclay's results, and the collections have been brought together at Sydney in order that they may be available for the preparation of the work for the press there.
