Abstract
SO large an amount of interest has been awakened during recent years concerning the nature of the interior of the vast island of Greenland, that the publication of this first instalment of the researches carried on under the auspices of the Danish Government will be welcomed by geographers and geologists all over the world. The work is written in the Danish language, but a résumé in French, by M. F. Johnstrup, enables readers unacquainted with the former language to become possessed of the interesting facts contained in the volume. The work contains four memoirs of great interest: an account of the expedition upon the inland ice, made by Lieut. Jensen in 1878; a record of the astronomical and meteorological observations made during this journey; notes on the geology of the west coast of Greenland, by M. Kornerup; and remarks upon the plants collected by the last named explorer, by M. Lange.
