ON A THIRD COLLECTION OF FISHES MADE BY DR. E. BAYON IN UGANDA, 1909-1910 



By G. A. BOULENGER, F. R. S. 



Plates I, 11. III. 



This collection , which has again been entrusted to me for 

 study by the Director of the ( lenoa Civic Museum , is of special 

 interest, not only as one of the largest ever made in Afi'ica, the 

 number of specimens amounting to over 3()()(), but as furnishing 

 the first information on the distriliution of Fishes in the Victoria Nile 

 between the Ki|K)n I'"alls and the Miirchisoii I-"alls. It shows that 

 the Fishes of that pait of the Nile are essentially the same as 

 those of the Victoria Nyanza, therefore very ditterent from lliose 

 of tlie Nile below the Murchison Falls. It also adds cunsideraldy 

 to the list of species of the Nile system, as no less than 12 are here 

 described as new. 



The collection was made at the following localities: 



Hussu . Lake Victoria. 



Kiduiiiiiio, (> miles frolli llussii. 



Jinja, Ripon Tails. 



Kakindii , Victoria Nile. 



Nakaviiggo Ferry, near Kakindu. Victoria Nile. 



Bululo, Lake Kioga. 



Mpologoma River, between Busoga and Hnkeddi.
