Abstract
THE volume under review gives us notes, mainly ornithological, on the last collections made by this remarkable German-Jewish explorer in the equatorial Egyptian Sudan, including the south-eastern part of the Bahr-al-ghazal region, the Latuka-Lango district, and the northwest coast of the Albert Nyanza; but the author treats also of birds and mammals which have come under his observation in the countries between the south shores of the Victoria Lake and the Zanzibar coast. His correspondence ceases with the middle of 1890. It contains interesting allusions to Dr. Sclater and other English ornithologists, to Dr. Junker, and to members of Stanley's expedition, and a rather pathetic touch in his own assumption of the rôle of the Wandering Jew.
