GENERAL NOTES. 
GEOGRAPHY AND TRAVELS.' 
AFrica.—A journey undertaken by F. C. Selous in the Ma- 
shuna country, lying between the Matabele settlements and the 
Zambesi, has resulted in a considerable addition to our knowledge 
of this region. The great mountain chain of Umvukwe, running 
north-east to south-west forms the water-shed—all streams rising 
on its north-western side flow into the Zambesi, while those issu- 
ing from its south-eastern flanks must run into the Mazo. 
Series of high and rugged ridges run in an east and west direc- 
tion from the western flank of the Umvukwe mountains, and be- 
tween these ridges flow the Umquasi, Mutiki, Mabane, Umpinge 
and Dande, all tributaries of a large river flowing northward into 
the Zambesi, and called the Panyame, Manyame or Hanyane. 
This river, which on other maps is shown as joining the Zambesi 
west of the town of Zumbo, is by Mr. Selous stated to enter fif- 
teen miles at least to the east of that place. Between the ridge 
besi, is a nearly flat and very dry district covered with mopani 
forests. In crossing this dry belt the Panyame and its tributaries 
as well as the Umsengaisi, which flows into the Zambesi about 
a degree further to the east, become broad-bedded sand-rivers
