It was left forCameron to place his name beside that of Stanley by making an expedi-tion from one ocean to the other. This he did, and accompanying thissketch 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 liave traversed realms widely apart and then have been.
