[One pair only of these Pelicans was seen on Lake Chercher, 

 the species not having been met with again until the Blue 

 Nile was reached. The isolated position of this lake and the 

 absence of any stream of any magnitude out of it makes one 

 wonder how these great imwieldy birds could have found 

 their way there. — L.]
