Scientific expeditions

M. le professeur Jean Massart a continué, par plusieurs voyages au bord de la Meuse. Mme Schouteden-Wery se proposait qu'on doive rédiger une relation de ces excursions. Le résultat est cette publication.

Cette seconde édition, entièrement revue, est augmentée des relations de trois excursions nouvelles faites dans le pays brabancon. Elle est plus abondamment illustrée que la précédente et l'on ya introduit un grand nombre de photographies stéréoscopiques qui permettent de mettre mieux en relief les détails de structure des organismes représentés.

L'Extension de L'Université libre de Bruxelles a organisé des excursions scientifiques dans les régions plus intéressantes de la Belgique. Une de ces excursions est en septembre 1906 dans le littoral de Belge. Cette publication contient des informations recueillies au cours de ces expéditions.

The Harvard African Expedition of 1926-1927 was planned for the purpose of making a biological and medical survey of Liberia, which apparently was that country of Africa about which the least was known in those respects. It was also planned, after the survey was completed, to cross the continent of Africa from the west to the east coast, travelling particularly through the Belgian Congo, and to make comparative studies in these regions. This program was carried out.

After nearly fifty years since his first journey to the tropics exploring for plants, and a total of thirty-nine expeditions to the Amazon, Professor Sir Ghillean Prance has gathered in this volume a fascinating and diverse collection of accounts from these experiences, along with his thoughts on a lifetime of work surveying the Amazon flora.
