Abstract
To the September number of Petermann's Mitteilungen Dr. G. Gürich contributes a useful sketch of the geological structure of the African continent. Much of his article is devoted to the Atlas and Cape regions, and that naturally, since on these regions the material is most abundant, only scanty notes for the most part being available for Central Africa, where, however, the prominence of granite Dr. Gürich thinks specially note-worthy. To the same number Dr. Baumann, the companion of Dr. Lenz, contributes a fairly detailed study of the physical geography of Fernando Po, where he stayed for some time on his return from the Congo. Both papers are illustrated by maps, that of Fernando Po being a specially good one on a large scale. Dr. Radde continues his preliminary account of his journeys in 1886 into the Transcaspian region and North Khorassan
