Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Zoological Society of London, 1909-10, Vol. 19
Ever since its discovery by Sir Henry Stanley in 1888, the great range of mountains in Equatorial Africa known as Ruwenzori, or the Mountains of the Moon, has attracted the attention of naturalists in all parts of the world, especially in Europe and America. The isolated position and the great altitude attained by the forest-clad, snow-capped peaks, rising to nearly feet, made it certain that a rich and peculiar Fauna and Flora must await the investigations of the explorer.
