  Bujaju 
  Peninsula, 
  30th 
  July 
  and 
  2nd 
  August 
  1915. 
  

  

  A 
  great 
  bay 
  (not 
  shown 
  on 
  Whitehouse's 
  Chart) 
  lying 
  west 
  of 
  Bujaju 
  Peninsula 
  

   is 
  entirely 
  sudd-bound, 
  but 
  with 
  a 
  central 
  channel 
  open. 
  At 
  several 
  points 
  hippo 
  

   trails 
  traverse 
  the 
  sudd 
  belt. 
  At 
  one 
  point, 
  where 
  the 
  soil 
  is 
  sandy, 
  crocodiles 
  come 
  

   ashore 
  to 
  breed. 
  The 
  width 
  of 
  the 
  sudd 
  belt 
  is 
  unknown. 
  The 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  

   crocodile 
  breeding 
  place 
  to 
  any 
  break 
  in 
  the 
  sudd 
  which 
  would 
  make 
  a 
  canoe 
  landing 
  

   practicable 
  is 
  not 
  less 
  than 
  5 
  miles. 
  The 
  distance 
  across 
  the 
  arm 
  of 
  the 
  peninsula 
  

   to 
  any 
  point 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  shore, 
  or 
  any 
  point 
  where 
  fly 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  inland, 
  is 
  

   not 
  less 
  than 
  three 
  miles. 
  

  

  What 
  appeared 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  small 
  colony 
  of 
  fly 
  was 
  found. 
  The 
  catch 
  (in 
  16 
  boy-hours) 
  

   was 
  males 
  5, 
  females 
  1, 
  giving 
  a 
  density 
  of 
  13 
  and 
  female 
  percentage 
  of 
  16*6. 
  

  

  Bunjako 
  Island, 
  10th 
  August 
  1915. 
  

  

  The 
  western 
  shore, 
  separated 
  by 
  sudd-bound 
  channels 
  from 
  the 
  mainland 
  was 
  

   surveyed 
  for 
  about 
  5 
  miles. 
  Situtunga 
  were 
  fairly 
  common 
  at 
  the 
  point, 
  bush-pig 
  

   common, 
  a 
  few 
  bush-buck, 
  and 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  herd 
  of 
  buffalo 
  ; 
  no 
  landing 
  places 
  of 
  

   amphibious 
  animals, 
  and 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  fly. 
  

  

  Kitebo 
  Peninsula, 
  13th 
  August 
  1915. 
  

  

  Surveyed 
  eastern 
  shore 
  of 
  peninsula, 
  being 
  the 
  western 
  shore 
  of 
  sudd-bound 
  

   channel 
  separating 
  mainland 
  from 
  Bunjako 
  Island, 
  for 
  distance 
  of 
  3 
  \ 
  miles 
  north 
  

   from 
  last 
  break 
  in 
  sudd 
  belt. 
  At 
  the 
  point 
  sandy 
  soil 
  and 
  ancient 
  beach 
  line, 
  semi- 
  

   open, 
  offered 
  fair 
  breeding 
  places 
  and 
  good 
  shelter. 
  Game 
  not 
  common, 
  no 
  amphi- 
  

   bious 
  animals, 
  and 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  fly 
  beyond 
  the 
  first 
  few 
  hundred 
  yards. 
  

  

  Zinga 
  Island, 
  20\h-22nd 
  August, 
  1915. 
  

  

  Surveyed 
  north-western 
  peninsula 
  (not 
  shown 
  on 
  Whitehouse's 
  Chart) 
  on 
  northern 
  

   and 
  western 
  shores. 
  It 
  is 
  anciently 
  sudd-bound. 
  Many 
  situtunga 
  were 
  seen 
  and 
  

   one 
  animal 
  that 
  appeared 
  to 
  be 
  bush-buck 
  ; 
  excreta 
  of 
  leopard 
  at 
  one 
  point 
  ; 
  no 
  

   amphibious 
  animals. 
  

  

  Dense 
  infestation 
  at 
  south-western 
  point 
  of 
  the 
  peninsula 
  (where 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  sudd) 
  

   spread 
  inland 
  for 
  at 
  least 
  1,000 
  yards, 
  owing 
  to 
  situtunga. 
  No 
  trace 
  of 
  fly 
  at 
  much 
  

   more 
  than 
  1,000 
  yards 
  from 
  open 
  shore 
  on 
  this 
  portion 
  of 
  island. 
  No 
  sand 
  or 
  gravel 
  

   found 
  at 
  the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  sudd-fields. 
  

  

  Binga 
  Island, 
  23rd 
  August 
  1915. 
  

  

  Binga 
  is 
  entirely 
  sudd-bound. 
  The 
  narrowest 
  portion 
  of 
  sudd-belt 
  is 
  about 
  100 
  

   yards 
  in 
  width 
  ; 
  except 
  at 
  this 
  one 
  point 
  it 
  is 
  much 
  wider. 
  Bush-buck, 
  bush- 
  pig 
  

   and 
  buffalo 
  all 
  common 
  ; 
  situtunga 
  not 
  common 
  ; 
  hippo 
  land 
  frequently 
  where 
  sudd- 
  

   belt 
  is 
  narrowest. 
  

  

  Fly 
  was 
  found 
  near 
  hippo 
  landings; 
  in 
  13 
  boy-hours 
  11 
  were 
  caught, 
  making 
  

   density 
  of 
  *5, 
  and 
  the 
  female 
  percentage 
  was 
  45*4 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  chance 
  that 
  these 
  flies 
  

   followed 
  the 
  outer 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  sudd-field 
  from 
  the 
  point 
  where 
  it 
  breaks 
  on 
  the 
  

   stem 
  of 
  Bunjako 
  Island, 
  3 
  to 
  4 
  miles 
  distant, 
  and 
  that 
  they 
  turned 
  up 
  the 
  hippo 
  

   trails 
  to 
  Binga. 
  There 
  seemed 
  less 
  probability 
  of 
  this 
  being 
  an 
  independent 
  colony 
  — 
  

   i.e., 
  a 
  self-perpetuating 
  colony 
  — 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  fly 
  caught 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  shore 
  

   of 
  Bujaju.
