The observations wanting on the term days during the first four months of 1895 have been interpolated as far as possible by drawing the curve for each day and filling up by comparison with the curves for days immediately preceding and following it. It must be admitted that the method is liable to considerable error, but under the circumstances it is believed that the results may be useful. The barometer readings have in all cases been reduced to 32° F. and corrected for gravity. Warri (Benin). Lat. 5° 31' N., Long. 5° 51' E., 10 feet. Observers: Felix Roth, M.R.C.S., M.L.C.P., and B.

The Exploration of Southern Arabia.-Report of the Committee, consisting of Mr. H. SEEBOHM (Chairman), Mr. J. THEODORE BENT (Secretary), Mr. E. G. RAVENSTEIN, Dr. J. G. GARSON, and Mr. G. W. BLOXAM. (Drawn up by Mr. BENT.) THIS last winter, after leaving Muscat we proceeded along the coast for a distance of 640 miles, and applied ourselves to the exploration of a certain district known as Dhofar, with the Gara mountains. The results of this expedition, which lasted over several weeks, may be treated of under three different heads :- 1. The geographical results referring to the nature of the country, its configuration, and its productions. 2. The anthropological results, with an account of the inhabitants and a comparison of them with those of other parts of Arabia. 3. The archæological results of the study of the various ruins and identification of sites mentioned by ancient authors. (1) The district of Dhofar is for Arabia a most remarkable one. It constitutes a sort of oasis by the sea, and consists of a flat alluvial plain about 60 miles long and 9 miles at its widest point, very fertile, and with |
