Notes on the Chobe river, South Central Africa

Abstract

The accompanying map of the Chobe river is taken for about 40 miles up from its mouth, and drawn from memory, as I had no instruments with me, and went into that part of the country more with the intention of hunting and obtaining natural history specimens, than making geographical explorations; but having travelled more or less for the last six years either along the bank of the river or in a boat, its peculiar course naturally made a very great impression upon me, more especially as I have been living at nine different places along its course, for periods varying from two weeks to more than four months. The portions of the river not coloured I have not visited, but I think the supposed course marked to be about the correct one.
