Carnegie Institution of Washington, Publication No. 175, by Professors J. C. Beattie and J. T. Morrison in Belgian Congo, British East Africa, British South and Central Africa, German East Africa, German South-West Africa, Portuguese East Africa, Uganda, Professor Beattie's account, pp. 101–104. Professor Morrison's account, pp. 104–105. The distribution of stations occupied by the two observers between October 1908 and January 1910 was as follows: jointly, 6 in the Belgian Congo, 1 in the Cape Province, 1 in Egypt, 1 in England and 39 in Rhodesia—in all 48; by Beattie, 36 in Cape Colony, 45 in German South-West Africa, 60 in German East Africa, 3 in Rhodesia and 33 in Uganda Protectorate—in all 177; by Morrison, 35 in British Central Africa, 28 in British East Africa, 4 in Cape Colony, 10 in German East Africa, 24 in German South-West Africa, 6 in Portuguese East Africa, 15 in Rhodesia and 1 in Zanzibar—in all 123. The total number of stations was 348, a number rendered possible by the plan adopted of taking observations at each camping place. In addition to the results obtained on this expedition, the observations at 15 stations occupied during June and July 1908, in the Capo Province, Natal and Transvaal, have been embodied, as well as other observations at 18 stations in the Cape Province in January and February 1907.)
