Dr. Hamilton Rice '98, F.R.G.S., will deliver a lecture, illustrated by stereopticon, on "Further Explorations in the Northwest Amazon Basin, 1912-13," at the Harvard Club of Boston this evening at 8.30 o'clock.
The lecture will consist of an account of the last expedition and the continuation of the work of previous explorations which have had as their main object the mapping of the big tributaries of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers in the unknown region west of the Rio Negro. Another purpose was to collect ethnological information relative to the aboriginal inhabitants and to explore the forests where these primitive people lived previously untouched by civilization. The valley of the Amazon is the last great unexplored tract of the earth's surface.
