The Discovery of Ruwenzori. 



Other geographers, such as Hans Meyer and Kavensteiu, 

 attempted to prove that Ptolemy meant to indicate the 

 mountains which form and encircle tlie Abyssinian tableland. 

 In the " Proceedings of the Pi,oval Geographical Society" for 

 11)01 (p. 513), may be found an interesting discussion which 

 followed the lecture of H. Schlichter on this subject. 



The Italian geographer Prof L. Hugues has contributed a 

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

 knowledge which was attainable in the days of Ptolemy as to 

 the 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 account errors in 

 the mensuration of longitude and latitude inevitable at the 

 earlier period. The conclusions at which he arrives are 

 entirely in favour of Stanley's view.
