4 (No. 99 GEOGRAPHY the meeting-place of British , Belgian, and German territory.

From the summit of Mount Sabinio the boundary between the Belgian Congo and German East Africa is defined by a Convention signed in 1911. As far as Lake Kivu, which it reaches near Ngoma, it is very irregular and can be followed only on a large-scale map. Many of the irregularities are due to the fact that in certain places all native settlements were included in German territory.

Across Lake Kivu the boundary is continued from a point between Ngoma and Kisenyi (Kissegnies) to the mouth of the Rusizi, and is so drawn as to give four islands in the lake to Belgium and four to Germany. It then follows the Rusizi to Lake Tanganyika, takes the median line of that lake to a point opposite Moliro , and terminates near this town .

Between the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia the bound ary is defined by the Agreement of May 12, 1894. It runs from the extremity of Cape Akalunga on Lake Tangan yikato the right bank of theLuapula (Luvua) where that river issues from Lake Mweru . It then crosses the lake to the point at which the Luapula enters it, but is de flected in the south so as to give the island of Kilwa to Great Britain . The Luapula river is followed to the point at which it leaves Lake Bangweulu, and the line then runs directly south along the meridian of that point to the Congo-Zambezi watershed, which then forms the southern boundary as far as the meeting place of British, Belgian, and Portuguese territory. In 1911 an Anglo-Belgian commission was appointed to survey this part of the frontier, and from the maps it prepared it appears that the Luapula crosses the stretch of the meridian in question, and that conse quently some modification of the frontier will here be necessary.
