This he did, and accompanying of his achievements is an accurate map showing the region hetraversed. Cameron has rendered important service to physical science andgeography. His discoveries have been of a very important character,and these have only confirmed the discoveries which were made beforehis expedition and since. In fact it is noticeable that the great Africanexplorers who have traversed realms widely apart and then have been.
