Carl Jolian Andersson, a Swedish traveller, born in the province of Wermland in 1827, died in the territory of the Ovacuambi, S. W. Africa, July 5, 1867. He was the natural son of Mr. L. Lloyd, an English sportsman residing in Swe-den. In 1849 he went to England, and the next year joined Francis Galton in a journey to the territories of the Damaras and the Ovam-bos, S. W. Africa. He continued his explora-tions alone in 1853-'4, and published after his return to England (1855) "Lake Ngami, or Explorations and Discoveries during Four Years' Wanderings in the Wilds of Southwestern Africa." Revisiting Africa in 1856, he made a second journey to Lake Ngami (1858) in company with Mr. Green, an English elephant hunter, and found his way up the Okavango, through the territory of the Ovambo, one of the principal red tribes of Herrevo land, which had never been visited by a European excepting by the German missionary Hugo Halm. He published in London in 1861 a work on the Okavango river. Returning to Herrevo land by way of Walfish bay and the Zwachaub river, he married Miss Aitchison of Cape Town, and devoted himself at Otjimbingue, near Ondongo, to agriculture and commerce.

During the war with the Damara and Namaqua tribes he was repeatedly despoiled by the latter, and finally so seriously wounded that he had to be removed to Cape Town. During his illness he studied ornithology and prepared materials for an illustrated fauna of S. W. x\frica. Barely recovered, he set out again in May, 1866, with a young Swede, on an expedition to the Cunene, with a view of establishing commercial intercourse with the Portuguese settlements N. of that river, and came within sight of the long-sought stream; but, too feeble to cross it, he had to retrace his steps and died on the home journey.
