Volumes have been written about the political and financial state of Egypt, but little attention has been directed to the present condition of education in that country. Therefore the results of a personal inspection of the schools in Cairo may not be uninstructive, especially since the importance of the subject has been strongly emphasized in Lord Dufferin's celebrated despatch (Feb. 6th, Egypt, No. 6, 1883).

Notes on the Volcanic Phenomena of Central MadagascarBaron, R. L. - 1886 - Nature, 33(853), 415–417
MADAGASCAR is as yet almost a terra incognita to the geologist; nothing, so far as I am aware, but notices of the most vague and fragmentary kind ever having appeared in regard to its geological features. Nor indeed may we expect to have other than the most general descriptions until the island is surveyed by thoroughly competent men. In the absence of some thing more complete, I hope that the following notes on the volcanic phenomena of Central Madagascar may not be unacceptable to your...

Volcanoes on the Shores of Lake Nyassa, AfricaJohnston‐Lavis, H. J. - 1884 - Nature, 30(759), 62–63
DR. LAWS, on his return to Europe from the mission station at the north end of Lake Nyassa, passed by Naples, where I had the pleasure of meeting him. Amongst other information that I gleaned was that pumice-stone is very abundant in the locality above-mentioned and on the shores of the lake, where pebbles of coal are also met with. He also informed me that many of the rocks had a striking resemblance to the volcanic tufas around Naples. Dr. Laws happened to have a specimen of pumice, which he kindly placed at my disposal.

WHEN crossing the main land of New Guinea, from the Geel-vinks Bay in the north, to the south coast, I slept on the night of the 12th to the 13th of June, 1873, in the swamps of the MacCluer Gulf (famous for the murder of some of the crew and the ship's doctor of H.M.S. Panther and Endeavour, Capt. MacCluer, in 1791, and by the attack on Signor Cerruti, the Italian traveller, several years ago). About 2 A.M. of the 13th I awoke, in consequence of a rattling noise like that of gun-shooting. I...

In the Dicynodon (Karoo) formation † we find two or more distinct forest-zones in this eastern part of the colony. At Dordrecht (Albert), in the Upper Stormberg range, on the south of the Kaga Mountain (an offshoot of the Winterberg, in East Somerset), in the Kroome range, and in the Amatola Mountains (British Kaffraria) a thick and gritty sandstone frequently makes its appearance on the slopes of minor valleys, and on the flats at the same line of elevation $ and wherever it is exposed...

At Edd, lat. 13° 57′ N., long. 41° 4′ E., about half-way between Massouah and the Straits of Bab-el-Mandel, earthquake-shocks occurred on the night of the 7th of May or the morning of the 8th, during about an hour. At sunrise fine dust fell, at first white, afterwards red; the day was pitch-dark; and the dust was nearly knee-deep. On the 9th the fall of dust abated; and at night fire and smoke were seen issuing from Jebel Dubbeh, a mountain about a day9s journey inland, and sounds like the...
