Abstract
THIS expedition was planned by Prof. Chun, or Leipzig, and was originally intended to be exclusively zoological, but, on the representation of Prof. Ratzel, physical and chemical researches were included in the programme. During last winter the German Parliament voted a sum of 300,000 marks to cover the expenses of the expedition, and further sums will probably be voted for the same purpose, and for the publication of the results.
