DU UIAILLO, author of Explorations in Equatorial Af rica. With Map and Illustrations. Now ?ork: D. Appleton & Co., Broad? way, 1867. As the previous volume of the author has excit? ed a ?great doal of discussion in scientific arid lit? erary circles, we will give a brief sketch of hie life before wo examine his new hook. M. DU CHAILLU was born in Paris, in 1832. Ile come to the United States when quite a boy. Prom his earliest youth he waa devoted to studies of geog? raphy and natural history, and retained in vivid freshness, the dream, present, we believe, with almost every boy, of visiting, in after life, foreign lands and desert wilds. In October, 1855, at thu age of twenty-three; ho lett New York on his first journey of exploration to Western Africa. With tho enthusiasm na ural to youth, he selected for the scene of his labors a region where he had rea? son to suppose no "whiteman, hid preceded him. He travelled in tho immediate vicinity of thc equa? tor, a distance of some four hundred to live hun ? dred milos. Travelling in these parts is attended .'with all but insuperable difficulties ; there being . so beasts of burdon whatever. The fall of ram ti there is at a rate entirely unknown in this part of tho world; according to our traveller's measure? ment two hundred aud twenty-five inches in tho twelvemonths; tho thermometer not uiifrequontly reaching 148 degreos; With such meteorological .conditions we need hot say that the country is 'sickly." M. nu CHAILLU had repeated attacks or I "Afriian fever, and his strong constitution alone enabled him to bravo such terriblo hindrances to ' bis enterprise. Ho was all tho whQo surrounded ...exclusively by natives, not having been able to in dace a single white man to accompany him. Classical readers may . remember that in tho Periplus, or voyago of HANNO, the Carthagenian, written more than two thousand years ago, he makes allusion to the animal known as the gorilla. "On the third day," he says, "we came to a bay called tho Horn of the South. In tho recess was an island like the first, having a lake, and in this there waa another island foll of wild men. . Sut much the greater part of them were women, with hairy bodies, whom the interpreters called goril ' las. * * * But pursuing thom, we wore not : able to take tho men; -they all escaped from us by their great acuity, being cremnobales. that is to say, climbing precipitous rocks and trees, and do . fending themselves oy throwing stones at us. We took three women, who bit and torc those who '^?atught them, and wore unwilling to follow. . We - were.obliged, thoiotoro, to kill them, and .take their skins off, which Bkins were brought to Car thage, for wo did not navigate farther, provisions becoming scarce." i It was the perusal of those traditions, coupled W?EEtl?e reports cuiront among the negroes of tho coast, that led M. nu CHAILLU to venturo upon this dangerous journey into the interior. The dis .'.' coveries which he mode then amply rewarded him for he perils which ho encountered. In ornitho? logy ho. added upwards of sixty new species to thc existing classifications, and to that of quadrupeds more than thirty, among which were three new .. .. . .varieties of apes.; On getting ;to the head waters : bf the Ntambounay, about five thousand feet above the level of the sea, he made his first acquaintance with the gorilla. We cannot do better than to give tho account of the meeting in his own words: Suddenly, as we were creeping along in a silence ' 'Which made a heavy breath, seem loud and dis? tinct, the. woods were at .once' filled with the tremendous barking roar of tho gorilla. Then the .underbrush swayed . rapidly just ahead, and presently before us stood an immense male ? -gorilla.' He had gone through the jungle on his ..- --.afi-fours, but when he sawbur party he erected - himself and looked us boldly in the face. He stood ' about a dozen yards from us, and, was A sight I think ! .shall never forget. Nearly six feet high (he proved four inches shorter), with, immbnse body, huge chest, and great- muscular arms, with fiercely-glaring large, deep gray eyes, anda hellish expression, of face, which seemed to me some nightmare vision; thus stood before us this king of the African forest. He was not afraid of us.' " He stood there and beat his breast with his huge" fists till it resounded, liko an. immense bass drum," which is their mode of offering defiance, meantime giving vent to roar after roar. - -This monster M. nu CHAILLU shot, and the body .' when measured proved to be five feet eight inches ? . in height, sixty-two inches round the chest, and 'hine feet from the extremity, of one outstretched arm to the other. He subsequently killed on this , trip, twenty-one of these creatures, the measure .ment of one of which proved to be larger than that we haye just given. ?The skins and skeletons were brought to this country, and were exhibited for a ' short time in New York and Boston. ' Strange to . say, tiuey elicited -but-very little interest; except" among a few of our .scientific , men. They were . . then taken to England, where they created a great sensation, and HI. DU CSATLLU became one of the lio:.s of the day. This difference of appreciation of j the importance of these discoveries in the two coun? tries cari only be accounted for by the publication of his first book, " Adventures in Equatorial Afri? ca," .which;'made its appearance shortly, after his arrival in London. ! l:. . EVen in England and.in. Germany there were persons not disposed to accept them as facts, and "violentcontroversies followed in. regard to them, i: ..Men of high scientific reputation, however, such :;..:'~.a? Professor OWEN, Sir EODEKICK MUBCHISON, and 1 ? " Professor ALLMAN, of Edinburgh, manfully stood 4 ; by M. nu CHAILLU, and maintained by incontrover? tible geological and anatomical analogies the pro? bable correctness of his statements. A few disco? veries subsequently made by Captain BUHTON and other travellers on the same section of the African coast served to corroborate their truthfulness. But not- satisfied that there should remain a particle of doubt on facts so important, M. SE CHAILLU prepared himself for a second journey of exploration. The better to qualify himself for it, he applied himself to the study of astronomy, and also made -himself acquainted with the manage? ment of photographic instruments. After three - years thus spent, port being passed in the United States, and part in England, for the advantages of - the British Museum, he left- Bondon for the coast of Africa on the 6th of August, 1863. There being no commercial intercourse with the point for which he was bound, tho Pornand Yaz,'which li?s ono hundred and ten miles to the Bouth of the equator, : he had.' to specially freight a vessel for the expe? dition. .In disembarking on the coast he met with . a disaster in the upsetting of a canoe, by which;he lost all his chronometers and other valuable scien? tific instruments. By this accident the object of his journey ' was delayed for upwards of eight months, daring which ho waited for the arrival from England of another sot of instruments, which had to oe dispatched to him by a vessel again char? tered for the purpose. It is but right to add that in these two expeditions M. DU CHAILLU received no aid from any quarter. They were undertaken at his individual expense, and whatever advantage may have accrued from them' to the interests of - - . science he is entitled to the sole credit of. The volume before os now gives us the results of this second journey. ? Among those who have attacked the accuracy of . ... M. Du Cha?lu'a former publication, is Mr. W. Win? wood B?ade,. a nephew of Charles Beade, the novelist. Trna gentleman, in the interval between tile two journeys of M. Du Chaillu, made a visit to Equatorial Africa, with tho expresa purpose, as it appears, of determining for himself the veracity of M. Du ChaiHu's accounts of the gorilla, as well as of other remarkable" statements. ' Mr. Beade has lately published in the ''Galaxy" some caustic strictures upon the subj ect of the gorilla, and also: with regard to ibo extent bf/Dn CbailhVs travels into tile interior. "?ven fie,; however, admits .the" !i TOttecj^esaoitbejBtoteni?te of dar; traveller in other particulars. ??.'firn M.

Upon tho whole, we do not 'see any, reason to ??? doubt tho .general accuracy and hocesty of M. nu CHAIXXU'S stek mente. .. Mr. REAnt's strictures aro based mainly iu?an..mforraation derived from the .tij. daws* . J nativos, whom he admits to ho falso and unreliable. If, as be charges, they lied, toil, su CHATT.T.P, it is jost as reasonable to believe that they lied to Mr. UKASE. - . Sonto" aHowanco may of courso bo" made for tho natural tendoncy of tho traveller to exaggerate, and for tho imperfections of second-hand informa? tion. But, after all those allowances, enough re? mains to malte M. Bu Chaillu's adventures among tho moat interesting of all tho records of modera travel. After a life of such constant advonturo and peril it is but natural that he. should desire ropose. He accordingly returns to the United States with the intention of permanently settling here. A courso of lectures, says tho Herald, from M. DD GFATIX? would form a worthy sequel to those of Professor AGASSIZ, could ho bo induced to emerge from tho retirement ?vhich he seems to covet. In England his lectures wcro extremely popular, boiug delivered in a lively conversational style, and illustrated by interesting drawings and diagrams. In appearance M. DU CHAXLLU is below the mid? dle height, of slight build and with a stoop in the shoulders. His French or: gin exhibits itself in his features, azd also betrays itself in his accent. Ho has a restless, nervous manner, brought on, no 1 doubt, by his constant watchfulness in tho jungle, a clear penetrating eye, and a frank cordiality of expression. Ile spooks of this country as the laud of his choice, and has some idea pf settling out West. For a largo p .rt of the facts in the above sketch of M. DU : -HMI.T.U wo aro indebted to the New I i'ork Merald. The volume before us ia profusely il? lustrated, and altogether as interesting a hook of { travels as could well fall into the bauds of either enthusiastic school boy or older and more sober inquirer after ethnographic knowledge.
