Abstract
SOME time ago, reviewing a scientific treatise on German South-west Africa and the adjoining regions I ventured to make the remark in this journal that Germany deserved to be allowed to take under her control still more of the undeveloped portions of the earth's surface, provided she continued by the direct action of her Government to enrich the world's store of knowledge as she has been doing with her African and New Guinea researches during the last ten years. The present “Mitteilungen” support this exordium; they are of high scientific value.
