The Exploration of Socotra

Abstract

WOULD you allow me, on behalf of the Committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science for the Exploration of Socotra, to state in your columns that we are anxious to find a competent naturalist to proceed to Socotra early next year, the gentleman whose services we had hoped to secure being unfortunately unable to undertake the task. The expedition will be but a short one, as it would be useless to remain in the island after April.
