Abstract
DR. EMIL HOLUB has arrived in Europe, after three years of adventurous exploration in Africa, and although he brings with him only a part of his scientific collections—the rest having seen plundered by the Mashukulumbe, a tribe to the north of the Zambesi—yet this fragment is certain to prove of great scientific value. It includes over 2000 specimens of birds, 27,000 of insects, and 6500 of plants. Dr. Holub brings with lim also many hundred observations in meteorology and measurements of all nations. The collection will be exhibited in Europe; and it is stated that, if circumstances enable them to do so, Dr. and Mrs. Holub will resume their African explorations. They are expected to arrive in Vienna on the 15th or 16th inst., and will be officially received by the Austro-Hungarian Exploration Society.
