ever wherever there are rivers navigable by
even the smallest boats it is almost certain
that white men have penetrated. Even in
the great central region of South America,
one of the largest of all dark spots. the
larger rivers have been explored. Water is
the principal aid to man in exploration and
the jungle is the chief barrier. Not even
the interminable wilderness of ice and snow
about the North and South poles has so
hindered man as the matted underground of
the tropics. The desert, too, is a barrier,
but one of passive sort and less formida-
BILE since the airplane has been developed.
These barriers help to explain why the
knowledge of white man is so fragmentary
concerning the equatorial belt and more par
ticularly the interior of Brazil and the in
terror of the islands of the Malay archi-
pelago These islands of the Dutch East
Indies include the least known spots in all

One of the present leaders in penetrating

Iumhotz began his scientific explorations
by studies In the jungle lands of eastern
Australia during the eighties. He was sent
from Norway primarily to study the anil
mails of the region and discovered several
new species. including the tree kangaroo, or.
as it is scientifically termed the Dendro-
lagus lumholtZii. At that time Australia
was little known.
To pursue his geological work Dr. Lum-
hotz spent year in the jungle with the
blacks, thing no white man had done up
to that time, so far as is known In the
course of this adventurous year DR.. Lum-
holtz became intensely interested In the
study of the native races, their legends GUS

In 1869 Burnett River grazier told Gerald

the aboriginal inhabitants. There is a race

The exploration of the island Of Borneo
may not seem to be Of much Importance
from a casual glance at the map, for it looks
small and insignificant beside the great bulk
of Asia. AS a matter of fact Borneo has an
area of approximately 100000 square miles,
no uncomfortable part of the world to rest
unknown In the twentieth century. It Is two
and a half times the size of the British Isles.
The whole British archipelago might be
superimposed on Borneo without single

that the clouds should remain unbroken, and
IT was not until two years had been spent In

preparation was evolved which would hide

The operation of this camoufiage scheme
