Abstract
L'Afrique gives a brief account of the last exploring journey of the late M. Georges Muller in Madagascar. He had returned to Antananarivo from a successful visit to Antsirabe, where he went to collect bones of epiornis, and in June he set out for Lake Alaotra, which, in company with Father Roblet, he explored, adding a number of features to the maps of the district. Parting from his companion, Muller pushed on with the view of reaching Mojanga on the west coast, but near Mandritsara he was attacked and murdered by a party of Fahavalos, one of the independent tribes who still contend against the Hova supremacy of the island.
