 Lake Naivasha. In coming out of Africa the 

 expedition crossed- Uganda and went down the White 

 Nile. Collections were also made in Lake No and on

 nearly 4,000 birds ; about 2,000 reptiles and batrachians ; 

 and some 500 fishes — a total of 11,397 specimens. 

 Marine fishes were collected in Mombasa, and fresh 

 water fishes elsewhere in East Africa, as well as in the 

 White Nile.

 shells near Mombasa and land and fresh water shells 

 throughout the regions visited, besides crabs, beetles, 

 millipeds and other invertebrates.
