Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Belgian Congo
The Belgian Congo is situated in the basin of the Congo in Equatorial Africa, and lies between the parallels of 5° 20'' N. And 13° 40'' S., and between the meridians of 12° 10'' E. And 31c,> 30'' E. Its area is estimated at square miles.
The original idea in the foundation of the Congo Indepen dent State was that it Should include the whole basin of the Congo, but various political circumstances have restricted the present Belgian colony within somewhat narrower limits. On the northern frontier all the land drained by the right bank tributaries of the Bomu, the Ubangi, and the Congo as far'' as the Cataracts belongs either to French Equa''torial Africa or to the Cameroons. ''below Manyanga, however, Belgian territory extends to the right bank of the Congo, and includes not only the drainage area of that river, but part of that of the Chiloango, as well as the basins of several smaller streams which ?ow directly to the Atlantic.
