were secured, and to these was finally added 

 Mr. A. F. R. Wollaston, who undertook to look 

 after the health of the various members of the 

 expedition, and to form botanical and entomological 

 collections. 



It would be a difficult matter to find any five 

 people who could have carried out the work as 

 successfully and as thoroughly as these gentlemen 

 have done, and when a complete account of the 

 zoological results is published in the Transactions 

 of the Zoological Society of London this will be 

 abundantly evident. The botanical results have 

 already been published in a paper by Dr. A. B. 

 Rendle and others, which appeared in the JotLvnal 

 of the Linn(£an Society, January, 1908, vol. xxxviii., 

 pp. 228-279. 



The organization and equipment of this large 

 expedition took many months to arrange, and before 

 it had reached its destination and commenced work 

 a number of the birds peculiar to the region had 

 already been procured, and sent to the British 

 Museum by Mr. F. J. Jackson, C.B., whose nephew, 

 Mr. Geoffi-y Archer, paid a short visit to the 

 north-eastern slopes of Ruwenzori in February, 

 1902.
