Tilt- mountain of wliicli Stairs caught a glimpse on liis wav 

 \ij) a valley to the uorth-west of the chain, perhaps the 

 liussirubi Valley, was j)ro1)ably Mt. Emin. This mountain is 

 illustrated on p. 256 of the above-mentioned volume, and 

 this view, taken from tlie west, corresponds fairly in appearance 

 to Mt. Eniiu from the east in the photographic panorama taken 

 by H.R.H. from the L)lan(la JVak of :\[t. Gessi. {See 

 illustration, p. 241.) 



As to the " Saddle Peak " of Staidey, it certainly corresponds 

 to the two peaks Alexandra and Margherita, which stand in 

 a line running north-east to south-west. To any one observing 

 tliem as Stanley did from the north-west or south-east, tliev 

 would appear as twin peaks, whereas one would be liidden bv 

 the other if the observer .stood in a line with them. 



More exact accounts of the chain have been given to us bv 

 Stuhlmann. The more or less schematic illustration of the 

 chain, as seen from the southern part of the Semliki Valley to 

 the south-west of the great peaks, and reproduced on p. 281 

 of Stuhhnann's book,* can easily be identified on the map of 

 H. H.H. There is no doubt that the central and m-eatest 

 mountain group given bv Stuhlmann under the name '"Semper" 

 is to be identified with the Mt. Stanley ; hence, the two moun- 

 tains to its rioht. designated bv Stuhlmann with the names 

 Weismann and Moebius, cannot be anvthing but Mt. Baker and 

 Mt. Luio-i di Savoia. As to the momitain called ])v Stuhlmann 

 Kraepelin, whose summits are liarely visible at a considerable 

 distance from Semper, this must be Mt. Emin. From 

 Stuhhnann's point of observation, Mt. Speke must have been 

 hidden by Mt. Stanlev, or only partly visil)le, and easily con- 

 founded with it. This fact, namely, the omission of Mt. Speke
