The Ruwenzori Range. 



on the subject by Sib Henry H. Johxston in liis recent work, The Xile Qitpxt, p. 28: " Tlie 

 present writer is unable to understand why that able geographer, Mr. E. G. Ravenstein, has 

 doubted the identification of Euwenzori with PtokMiiy's Mountains of the Moon. It must be 

 obvious, when all facts are considered, that Ruwenzori was tlic principal germ of tliis idea. 

 Tlie Greek traders at Khapta (Pangani) no doubt had sonu' u\cn of tlie existence of Kiliman- 

 aro, but it is douhtful wliether eitlier the single dome of Kilimanjaro or tlie gleaming 

 pinnacle of Kenia would impi\'ss the imagination so strongly as tlie wliole brilliant range of 

 Ruwenzori's four or five snow peaks and thirty miles of glaciation."
