F. The Snow-Zone (14,500 to 16,794 feet). 



Permanent snow lies at about 14,500 ft., and, as Ruwenzori is practically on the 

 Equator, the snow-line is constantly at the same altitude. No Palaearctic forms are 

 found among the mammals and birds, but among the plants there are many alpine 

 genera. No mammals or birds live above the snow-line. Butterflies, moths, and 

 diptera were seen on the snow up to 16,000 feet, blown there by the almost constant 

 wind. On the bare rocks above the snow-line a few worms, lichens, and mosses 

 were seen.
