The Discovery of Ruwenzori. 



Other geographers, such as Hans Meyer and Ravenstein, 

 attempted to prove that Ptolemy meant to indicate the 

 mountains which form and encircle the Abyssinian tableland. 

 In the " Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society" for 

 1901 (p. 513), may be found an interesting discussicm which 

 followed the lecture of H. Schlichter on this subject. 



The Italian geographer Prof L. Hugues has contributed a 

 note* on this question. He has attempted to bring the limited 

 knowledge whicli was attainable in the days of Ptolemy as to 

 tlie geographical position of both the lakes and the mountains 

 into harmonv with the more precise information at our 

 command at the present day, by taking into accoimt errors in 

 the mensuration of lonoitude and latitude inevitable at the 

 earlier period. The conclusions at ^vhicli he arrives are 

 entirely in favour of Stanley's view.
