- W4206512019 abstract "SEVERAL recent German geographical periodicals refer to a paper read by Prof. Kan, of Amsterdam, before the Section for Geography and Ethnology at the fifty-ninth Congress of German Physicians and Men of Science at Berlin in September, urging on German explorers the necessity of undertaking a geographical and geological exploration of the Moluccas. He said that, although Europeans had settled in the islands for centuries, our knowledge of the orohydrography, especially of the physical features of the archipelago, was exceedingly small. Excellent charts exist in abundance, and travellers, English and German, have subsequently visited it; but they were neither geographers nor geologists, but as a rule studied only the fauna and flora. The Dutch Government has done nothing as yet in reference to the geography of the Moluccas, because it has turned all its energies to procuring good maps of the more extensive Sunda Archipelago. Java has been triangulated and surveyed; there are excellent charts of the coast of Sumatra, and the triangulation of this great island has also been commenced, and, in late years, maps of parts of Celebes and Borneo have been produced. In geology, those islands of the Sunda Archipelago which contain useful minerals have been studied, and excellent geological maps of Sumatra, Banka, Billiton, South-East and North-West Borneo have appeared. In addition, the Government places annually at the disposal of the Geographical Society of Amsterdam 10,000 florins, which, Prof. Kan hoped, would next year be applied to the exploration of the Aru Islands. On the whole, therefore, the Dutch authorities are not lax in surveying and mapping their possessions in the East. Besides the Moluccas, Flores and Timor still offer a virgin field to the explorer, and Prof. Kan hinted that the traveller who undertook the work would not lack pecuniary or other help in Holland." @default.
