HOLUB, EMIL (1847-1902), Bohemian traveller in south central Africa, was born at Holitz, eastern Bohemia, on Oct. 7, 1847. In 1872 he went to the Kimberley diamond-fields, and practised as a surgeon. He undertook expeditions to the northern Transvaal, Mashonaland and through Bechuanaland to the Vic toria Falls, making extensive natural history collections. In June 1886 he crossed the Zambezi west of the Victoria Falls, and ex plored the then almost unknown region between that river and its tributary the Kafue. When beyond the Kafue the camp was attacked by the Mashukulumbwe, and Holub had to retreat. He returned to Austria in 1887 with a collection of great scientific interest, of over 13,000 objects, now in various museums. Holub died at Vienna on Feb. a 1, 1902.
