Abstract
FRENCH exploration towards Lake Chad is being carried on steadily and successfully. The latest results have been obtained by M. Maistre, who set out from the Mobangi in July, 1892, traversed the south of Bagirmi through the Shari valley, entered Adamawa by a route never before traversed by Europeans, ultimately descending the Niger, where the expedition reached Akassa on March 25. The health of the expedition was good, and in the earlier part of their work friendly relations were kept up with the natives. In Adamawa, however, there were hostile encounters.
