The Discovery of Ruwenzori. 



As may be seen hy this table, the Mobuku Valley was the 

 route chosen bv the greatest iiuinbfr dt" tlie expeditious. By 

 this route the liiuh terminal ridii-e had been reached three times. 

 By this route Wollaston and his companions had succeeded in 

 ascending two peaks of the chain, (ine of which was estimated 

 at over 16,000 feet high. It would appear that Dr. David must 

 have reached a still higher point by the western slopes ; but as 

 I liave already menti(.ined, tlie accounts of iiis expedition, which 

 aie at our disposal, are so vague as to render it impossible to 

 identifv the col whlcli he ascended.
