ment Is on foot tor the organization of

would have taken the matter into its own

Important Discoveries of 1877.


Before the American Geographical So
ciety Of New York City, the othcrnight,
Judge DAILY read an interesting paper
upon ssThe Geographical Work Of the
World in lS77.r Judge DAILY said the
opinion was gaining ground that the
forms oft arctic zone show that AUX
uriant vegetation prevailed there in tho
past. Mr.. X. A. Wallace, who has been
studying the antiquity Of the continents,
believes the temperate regions OF the
Old World to be the most ancient.
North. and. South America, be thinks,
were once divided by a strait. The
speaker referred to Cen. Di Cesnola's
and DR.. Schliemann's treasures and the
books, descriptive thereof, to the trans
fer Of Cleopatra's needle TO London, and
the discovery Of Columbus's remains in
Santo Domingo. A. 10 the obelisk, he
fears that II will decay in the air Of Lon
don. He sees no reason why the Sant0
Domingo remains should not be accept
ed as genuine. The work for the year
Of the United States engineer
corps was reviewed at some length.
Arctic exploration was Of limited
nature during 1877. Capt. Virgins
steamed through the nara sea anu as
cended the Yenisei River. A Russian
society has fitted out an expedition 10
explore the Gulf Of Obi, and M. Sibirea-
koois, at his own expense, TO explore
the Augara River Judge DAILY paid
considerable attention To the discovery
by Thos. 4. Barry, that fhe NetcheIIi
/. Esauimaux had relies Of Franklin.
Judge DAILY thinks there Is sufficient in
formation to justify . search for the
spot where the Netchell say this party
OF white men died, and where they say
their graves still remain, and the EARN
they crectYl, which could be easily done
at comparatively small expense.
There is the expectation that where the
last Of them persisted some record will
be found which will be u some scientific
value il il should contain the obscrva-
tions made over this part Of the Arctic
in the expedition. Tho Judge described
+. Stanley's Journey At some length, and
defended him against the recent criti-
cisms Of some English geographers.
