Abstract
THE current number of Petermann's Mittheilungen contains an account of Herr Menge's second journey in the Somali Peninsula, accompanied by an excellent map showing the courses of both journeys. The traveller's meteorological observations and measurements, worked out by Dr. Schmidt of Gotha, are appended to the paper. Dr. Paulitschke's account of his journeys to Harar and amongst the Northern Gallas is concluded in this number. It contains a mass of interesting information of all descriptions with regard to this region. In an appendix a sketch is given of the scientific results of the journey, arranged under the heads—astronomical and magnetic observations, topography, anthropology and ethuography, and natural history.
