The enterprise had its inception of the jubilee meeting of the British Ornithologists' Union at the end of last year, and, being designed to celebrate that event, embraced originally only proposals for atural history research work. The interior of Dutch New Guines offers an unusually templ- ing field for zoological and botanical investi- gations. The Dutch territory occupies the whole of the westery balf of the island, and is as large as, if not larger than, British and German New Guinea, together. Yet this vast territory, estimated to cover so area of some. thing like 150,000 square miler, is practically unkoon with the exception of a cumparatively narrow strip of country along the coast.

ZQOLOGICAL TREASURES.

From the zoological specimens, and parti- cularly the specimens of bird life, obtained by explorers and naturalists in both British and German New Guinea and in the extreme wast of Dutch New Guinea, where a broad moun-. tainous peninsula juts out from the main budy of the island, there is every reason to suppose that the unexplored interior regions of the Dutch sphere will yield to the collector'a great abundance of zoological treasures. In these

circumstances, and in view of the large propar tion of the funds for the proposed expedition sub- scribed by members of the British Ornithologists Union, it is only natural that the zoological ob-

jects of the expedition should loom large in the minds of its promoters. At the same time it has been felt that it would be a great mistake

VANDALISM IN CHINA.

Visitors to the Ming tombs at Nanking, who have lamented the continual defacement of these ancient and beautiful monuments, will hear with every satisfaction that Viceroy Town Fang has come to the rescue of the tombs. By His Excellency's orders a 'notice, in Chinese, English, French, Italias, Russian and German,

is about to be published stating that owing to past acts of vandalism and defacement of the Imperial tablets, monuments and ancient relics in the vicinity of the Ming tombi, palings bave been erected for their preservation by the Viceroy's orders; and visitors are bereby re- quented to abstain from entering the pal. ings, or from doing anything detrimental to the tombs and monuments. The precau. tion has not come a day too soon, and it merely remains to efface the traces of past desecration and to restore wherever possible what bas bees thrown down, as for example the carved balustrade of the bridge that uniter the two
