Abstract
WE regret to have to record the death of two of the best-known African explorers—Colonel J. A. Grant and Dr. Wilhelm Junker; the latter comparatively a young man, and the former by no means old. They belonged to two distinct types of African explorers: Grant was the true pioneer, who went out to force his way through an unknown region; Junker was the scientific student, content to spend years in one limited region in order to work out its geography; natural history, and ethnology.
