Abstract
WE much regret to learn of the death, at Loanda, on March 17, of Dr. Paul Pogge, the successful African explorer. Dr. Pogge, since 1880, was the companion of Lieut. Wissmann in the exploration of the region inland from the Portuguese possessions, and around the kingdom of Muata Janvo. He accompanied Wissmann as far as Nyangwe in the journey of the latter across Africa, and in May 1882 set out to return to the station at Mukenge. Doubtless the hardships to which he has been subject, combined with fever, have told on Dr. Pogge's health. In 1874 he was a member of the German African Expedition which was sent out to explore the same region, and with only native companions succeeded in penetrating as far as the capital of1 Muata Janvo.
