The liuwenzori Eange. 



oil tlie subject by Sir Henry H. Johxston in liis recent work, The yUe Quest, p. 2S: " Tlie 

 present writer is unable to understand why that able geograplier, Mr. E. G. Raveiistein, has 

 dovibted the identification of Ruwcnzori witli Ptob'niy's Mountains of tlic Moon. It nnist be 

 obvious, wlien all facts are considered, that Ruwcnzori was the principal germ of this idea. 

 The Greek traders at Rhapta (Pangani) no doubt had sonic idea of the existence of Kiliman- 

 aro, but it is doubtful whether cither the single dome of Kilimanjaro or the gleaming 

 pinnacle of Kenia would impress the imagination so strongly as the whole hriUiant range of 

 Euwenzori's four or five snow peaks and thirty miles of glaeiatiou."
