“ enclosed in a cirque of cliffs capped by glaciers, which flow 
from a neve rising in comparatively gentle slopes to an icy 
ridge connecting two rock peaks, Kiyanja and Johnston’s 
Duwoni.” # 
Mr. Freshfield’s poor opinion of the glaciers and of the 
general importance of the chain is a natural result of his belief 
that “ the only glacier basin of any size east of the chain is that 
of Mobuku. ”t 
It now remains for us to consider the ascents performed by 
the members of the British Museum Expedition, and more 
especially by the mountaineer, A. F. Wollaston. Lake Bujuku 
seems to have been seen for the first time by Woosnam in the 
excursion which he made alone to the ridge overhanging the 
Mobuku Glacier. Mr. Woosnam, as well as Mr. Wollaston, 
believed, however, with Dr. Grauer, that this was the water¬ 
shed. Hence Mr. Wollaston naturally concluded that the 
mountains which he had caught a glimpse of beyond it, 
Mt. Stanley and Mt. Speke, were on the western slopes 
of the chain. It was only later, after meeting H.B.II. at 
Fort Portal, that Mr. Wollaston, while crossing the foot of the 
Mobuku Valley, and seeing the outline of the peaks to the 
west, finally understood that their eastern slopes do really 
form part of the Uganda side of the range. 
I must here mention the interesting article of Lieutenant 
T. T. Behrens,| who has attempted to reconstruct the chain of 
Buwenzori with the whole illustrative and descriptive material 
from Stanley to Wollaston which existed in July, 1906, 
including the observations taken by the author during nine
