8vo. 4 pages, plus a folding colour map which measures 11.5 inches x 8 inches and shows details of Winnecke's survey work in Central Australia from August to December 1883. This is a complete issue of the Royal Geographical Society, published October 1884, in excellent condition, containing the above narrative, and historically valuable map. Item is in original condition, with blue wrappers, as issued, complete with all the ads. A succinct and informative account accompanies the map, revealing that this territory, near the western Queensland boundary, was previously unknown, indicated only as a vast blank space on maps. Winnecke quickly found the task of exploring and surveying the region was most onerous, yet persevered to success - the map here being the first of the area. The text makes specific reference to notes in Winnecke's diary, in one instance being forced to dig a deep well, due to the extreme scarcity of water for the camels. As well as charting the land, Winnecke names peaks, collects plenty of flora, and observes fauna. Still in the midst of exploring while this account was published, Surveyor-General G. W. Goyder of the Australia colony submits the paper for dispatching, thus published here.

8vo, 16 pages, contained in a complete 200 page monthly issue of the Geographische phemeriden, attractively bound in brown cloth with marbled boards and gilt spine. Very good condition and very crisp inside. Text in German. This is the 1804 Edition of an obscure and rare Geographical publication issued in Weimar/ Germany in the late 1700's and early 1800's named 'Geographische Ephemeriden.' It contains a portrait of Hernando Maghellan and a 16 page report about the Spanish Voyages to North America. Little was known about these Spanish voyages as the Spanish kept things secret. In 1791, Alessandro Malaspina undertook a search for the Northwest Passage. He surveyed the Alaska coast from Yakutat Bay to Prince William Sound. At Yakutat Bay, the expedition made contact with the Tlingit. The expedition's scientists made a study of the tribe, recording information on social mores, language, economy, warfare methods, and burial practices. During the return to Mexico, Malaspina's expedition spent a month at the Spanish outpost in Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island (see below). The expedition made a study of the Nootka. The two ships then sailed south to Mexico, stopping at the Spanish settlement and mission at Monterey, California on the way. Simultaneously an expedition under Francisco de Eliza, exploring the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered an entrance to the Strait of Georgia, which prompted further investigation. In Acapulco, Malaspina took over two schooners, the Sutil and Mexicana, placed them under the command of one of his officers, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano, and had them sail north to explore the Strait of Georgia. Galiano's expedition took place in 1792 at the same time as that of George Vancouver. The two expeditions met in the Strait of Georgia and worked together to map the waters and establish the insularity of Vancouver Island
