Uganda and the Egyptian Sudan: reports of strange animals and footprints

Record summary

Charles Thomas Wilson and Robert William Felkin’s Uganda and the Egyptian Sudan gathers missionary and travel observations from the late nineteenth-century Great Lakes and Nile regions. It includes local zoological terms, reports of large animals, and descriptions of tracks or forest signs that can be compared with later “unknown creature” claims. The value of the lead lies in its transmission history: information often passed through interpreters and was embedded in missionary ethnography rather than controlled zoological surveys. The exact creature identifications and page references need verification in the first edition.
