From November, 1930, till October, 1931, the Cambridge Expedition led by Dr. E. B. Worthington, carried out biological work on the Kenya and Uganda lakes. Owing to a grant from the Royal Society I was able to accompany the Expedition as geologist, with the object of studying the Pleistocene lake deposits and making collections of fossils from them.
page 98 note 1 A general account of the Expedition's work has been published by Worthington, E. B. in the Geographical Journal, lxxix, 1932, 275–97, and most of the biological results have appeared as a series of papers in the Linnaean Society's Journal, Zoology, xxxviii, 99–362.CrossRefGoogle Scholar

page 105 note 1 At two points it appeared that sedimentary beds occurred amongst the volcanic series, but if this were the case they were so disturbed and altered by the volcanic activity as to be unrecognizable.
