African Topography.

Most African travellers are now con

small areas. and they can therefore de-
scribe with accuracy and minutsness
districts which Livingstone. Speke.
Cameron and Stanley were able to
sketch oaiy in broad outline They are
compelling geOgraphers to revise their
notion on many interesting questions OF
African topography. Mr.. A. NJ
Mzckey. c. T.. who has spent three
years near Victoria MAMA. writes
that our maps give a very erroneous
outline Of the LAKE. and that Sianley's
charts are extremely inaccurate. which
IS not remarkable IN view 0f Stanley's
snort visit there. Six months ago the
vessel Eleanor was launched or the
MANA. and Mr.. Ma key expected
with hera.d to make an accurate survey
of the whole coast.
The missionaries at King Mfesa's cap

which has long figured on the map as

Fischer tried 10 reach last year. has no

identified his Aruwimi River. the large
