- W4240422746 abstract "AT Monday's meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, Lieutenant Wissmann was present, and was formally presented by the President with the gold medal which has been awarded to him by the Society for his exploring work in Africa. Lieutenant Wissmann afterwards gave some account of his explorations in the region to the south of the great Congo bend. He began his African work eight years ago in company with the late Dr. Pogge, with whom he traversed the region lying between Loanda and Nyangwe on the Upper Congo. The Kassai and several others of the great rivers that flow north to the Congo were crossed, and a large area of new country, thickly covered with an interesting population, opened up. Dr. Pogge returned to the west coast, whilst Lieutenant Wissmann proceeded from Nyangwe to Zanzibar. He returned to Africa a second time in the service of the King of the Belgians, and in company with Dr. Wolf, Lieutenant von François, and others, made his way again from Loanda into the interior. During the period between 1884 and 1887, Lieutenant Wissmann explored the Great Kassai, and did much to unravel the complicated system of rivers, of which it is the centre. Moreover, his observations on the people, as well as the fauna and flora, render his work of great scientific value. He again crossed to Nyangwe, and, by Lakes Tanganyika and Nyassa, reached the east coast at the mouth of the Zambesi. He returned to Europe in the autumn of last year, with his health shattered, and was compelled to go to Madeira to recruit. Now Lieutenant Wissmann returns to Germany, and will no doubt there work out the results of his eight years' work in Africa. Already one volume has been published, dealing with the exploration of the Kassai-Sankuni." @default.
