Autograph journal kept by the German naturalist Rudolf v. Willemoes-Suhm during his 3-year journey with the Challenger. Suhm was mainly concerned with Crustaceans, and several new species were named by him. His journal covers the entire voyage until his tragic death from erysipelas on 13th September,1875, while the ship was at Tahiti in the Pacific. His travel report remains unpublished and is a leading, yet apparently untapped source on the history of the Challenger Expedition as well as research and discovery of the sea. Suhm, born on 11. September 1847 in Glückstadt on the Elbe River studied in Bonn, Munich and Göttingen already at the age of 24 years he was a Professor of Zoology at the University of Munich. in 1872 he was appointed by Sir Charles Wyville Thomson, the Scientific Director of the Challenger Expedition as the only German on the staff of the research carried out on behalf of the Royal Society. The posthumous journal covers the entire period from Suhms trip to a few days before his death, in which his illness forced him to stop writing. It contains a wealth of information, particularly the geographical and zoological research of the “Challenger”. Suhm illustrated his records with small designs, including many maps and some small Zoological representations. Die britische Challenger-Expedition (1872-1876) war die erste rein wissenschaftliche Forschungsreise. Das Expeditionsschiff HMS Challenger legte bei Ihrer Reise ca. 130.000 km zurück und durchzog damit beinahe das gesamte Weltmeer. Mit dieser Expedition wurde der Grundstein für die Ozeanographie gelegt. Wichtige Forschungsstationen waren die Bahamas, die Marion-Inseln im südlichen Eismeer, Neuseeland, die Auckland-Inseln und Neu-Guinea. Die Ergebnisse wurden in 50 Bänden veröffentlicht.
