Abstract
THE volume before us, which is published by the Ministry of the Colonies at Paris, represents —we assume—the outcome of the scientific researches in the very heart of Africa—the basin of. Lake Chad—made by the exploring expeditions of the late (?) Commandant Tilho, who between 1906 and 1909 did so much to place correctly on the map of Africa this variable reservoir of the waters streaming northwards from the Congo watershed (it would seem as though this gallant and indefatigable explorer had recently died, from the rather obscure wording of the preface).
