WINGED that tho mighty Kong range
was a myth. He had reached tho
head waters Of the Baule. the largest
southern affiuent Of the Niger, and
near them he found a stream flow
ing south. which proved 70 be the Lahu
river. emptying into the Gulf OK
Guinea. Then he found the head
stream Of the Akba and other SOUTH
flowing rivers. lie then passed from
the Niger basin, and had found that
the water-parting between II and the
many streams that dow TO the Gold aud
Ivory coasts Is almost imperceptible.
The traditional Kong mountains would
have TO be sponged from the map. for
in his long journey Binger saw only
isolated SUBMITS here and there and
not an extended mountain chain such
rs the Kong mountains have been sup
posed TO be.
Mungo Park Is chiefly responsible
for the important place the Kong
mountains have occupied on the maps.
From two points on the Upper Niger
he saw. far 10 the south, the hazy out
lines OF some mountains which the ma
tives told him formed part OF great
range. This Information was COM
bined later with that collected by Bow
dich farther east; and thus geogra-
pliers evolved the hypothesis that
mighty mountain wall separated the
photographic basins of the Niger and
the coast rivers.
A few years ago the explorer Bon
nat. by his journey far inland on the
Volta river. shattered so much OF this
theory as depended upon reports sent
home by Bowdich. and now Binger has
leveled the western part of the great
Kong range. The last editions OF some
of the best African maps show the
Kong mountains 10 all their wonted
blackness but with the addition OF
skeptical interrogation point. The
next editions will see them wiped from
the maps entirely.
