The British Consul at Cayenne, Mr. Wool ridge, calls attention in his report thi year to the recent expedition into the interior of French Guiana which was unde taken by a navy doctor, Dr. Jules Crevaux, with two priests and 20 men, The priests fell ill in a month and returned to Cayenne, and the men also abandoned the doctor but he had the pluck to persevere, and proceeding with one negro (a capital cook, but incapable of managing a boat) and a Boni savage picked up en route, ascended the Maroni river to the foot ut the Tumac mountains, and crossed them, finally des-conding the Yan river and reaching the Amazon after a march of 142 days, having travelled over 500 leagues of land and water, 225 of which were over an entirely umexplored region.
