Extract

Leaving Karonga, at the northern end of Lake Nyasa, on July 15th, I reached Katumbi on the Luwumbu River, the chief tributary of the Upper Luangwa, about a week later. I had made this river my objective, as I had already examined, in 1908, a considerable portion of the Luangwa above its junction with the Luwumbu. After following the Luwumbu down to this point, the Luangwa itself was followed for a considerable distance, chiefly on the left bank.

The late Mr. Codrington also sent to the British Museum several specimens of this species which were captured in these localities in June 1904.—Ed.]
