The party leaves Liverpool on the liner Herefordshire, bound for Rangoon, Pro- ceeding up the Irrawady (as already an- nouced in the columns of this Scottish Letter), the point of departäre will be Bajma, and from thence the expedition will go by the Ambassador's Road to Tangyueb, which is the first important town in South-" West China. All the country between Tangyueh und Batang, a town on the main Chinese road to Llassa, will be closely. investigated for geological and scientific data. During the march between theso źwo centres-the belt of country traversed by the three paralle! rivers, the Yangtsekiang, Mekong, and Salwin-it is hoped to ascertain valuable scientific facts which will greatly enhance existing geological knowledge. Altogether the march will extend to over 1,000 miles..
"Assistance is being lent by the British Consul at Tanggeht, who is engaging a Chinese staff; while the Chinese Govern- went will provide an escort to protect the party from natural dangers, when penetrat ing the valleys, some of which are from 3,000 to 4,000 feet deep. The trade routes along these valleys are sometimes wondered impussable by landslides. There is also the possibility of attack by brigands,

KEATING'S
TAYNOUTH CASTLE,
of
The Marquis and Marchioness Breadalbane have left Taymouth Castle for Craig, their residence near Dalmally, in Argyllabire.
This announcedant hardly suggests, what is nevertheless the case, that Lord and Lady Brandalbane have left, Taymouth Castle for good and all. The new owners of
the Castle-the syndicate that bought it last year-obtain possession at Whitsunday. Lord and Lady Breadalbano will celebrate their golden wedding in June. They thus bade thain farewell to Taymouth after a residence of nearly half a century.
The main problem which Professor Gregory hopes to unravel is whether there are any indications of an eastward continu. ance of the Himalayas range. In localities which the explorers will endeavour to penetrate there is believed to be evidence which will determine the relation of the Himalyas and the mountain system of south east Asia. Some of the mountains are said to be about 25,000 feet high, and by ascend ing to within 6,000 feet of their snow-clad tops the Professor hopes to be able to measure accurately their altitude. Up to the present the heights given on the maps
