Abstract
WE have received some interesting notes of the work done by the eminent Russian explorer, Dr. von Miclucho-Maclay, which we hope to publish next week. Contrary to the advice of eveiy-orie, this intrepid traveller and true devotee of Science is determined upon again visiting the east coast of Papua. When his researches here are complete he intends to visit some of the islands of Polynesia and certain paris of the coast of Australia, This, he calculates, will take up five or six years. The Governor of the Dutch East Indies, like a true man of Science, had given Dr. Maclay, for the last six months, roomy and comfortable quarters in his palace at Buitonrovg. It would be well if all in high position would imitate this kind of “patronage.”
