Abstract
Cosmos, Guido Cora's Italian Geographical Journal, Nos. 4 and 5 (in one), contains a long and carefully compiled article on Italian travellers in Egypt from 1300 to 1840; Payer and Weyprecht's official account of the Austro-Hungarian Arctic Expedition; and the continuation of F. M. Prscevalski's exploration of Eastern Mongolia and Thibet. There are, besides, Notes on Gordon's Nile Expedition,—an Austrian naturalist, Ernst Marno, has been appointed to accompany Col. Gordon; there is a short account of the travels of a Persian youth, Abdul Kerim, in Tunisia. The part contains an excellent map of the border region between Persia and Beluchistan, compiled from the maps of Major St. John and the English Admiralty.
