NEWS OF THE CONGO EXPEDITION From Iho report of Herbert Lang, Leader THE Coiioo Expedition has hem unusiially successful in its work amonji the Manghetu and has emphasized consi(h'rahly thereby its record in anthropology. The Mangbetii possess intelligence iniwonted among Africans and the )Mangbetu monarchy, first descril)ed in 1S70, is ver^' ancient, probably founded several hundred years ago by Hamitic wanderers from the Nile. Industry has flourished in this monarchy, the Mangbetu excelling in pottery, carving and boat building, while according to some authorities their houses are superior to all others in Central Africa. Okondo, the present king, has extended very great favor to the Museum's expedition antl has arranged many palavers, dances, sham battles and other performances for its study. He has granted that photographs be taken of the King's village of one hundred huts, each with its paintings and carvings, of his own "big hut," and also of his three queens in whose royal dress figure rare okapi belts, many ornaments of brass, and tiaborate headdresses decorated with monkey bones. The collection in anthropology now consists of some 1400 articles and in the words of Mr. Lang, "... .is unique not only on account of its num- bers but especially by reason of the .selection that has been made throughout practically the entire territory inhabited l)y the Mangbetu and tribes intimately mingled with tlieni." Tlie expedition lias \isited Do.igu, Faradje and .\ba, traxi'ling with a caravan of one liuiKh'cd and eiglity nicii, wiiich fact in itself explains the large size of the eolleelions. In the report IMOO mamnials are listed. 1300 reptiles and 2SoO birds. Among the mainmals is a line bull white rhi- noceros, two elephants, a bull bhick I'liiiioeeros and two l)utfaloes. 191
