By WINIFRED E. FROST Freshwater Biological Association, Ferry House, Ambleside, England N 1955 and 1956 Mr. P. I. R. Maclaren, Fisheries Officer for Northern Rhodesia, wrote I to me about some eels, Anguilla spp., which he had collected from the Zambesi river system, and in September 1956 he sent me six specimens from his collection which I received in December. We had intended to discuss his finds when he came to England on leave in 1957, but his untimely and tragic death in October 1956, from an attack by a crocodile, prevented such a discussion. In view of this, the following account of eels collected by the late Mr Maclaren is given so that his findings may be recorded. • • or to ¢ II° , LUTISEt!FWA l ° 4' NOR T HERR MULUNGUSHIFALLS FALLS i RHODESIA ZAMBEZI F 1VER ----) • • ...._.—.., 0 CAY ,t, R PORTUGUESE EAST KAFUE R. • AFRICA COFIGEKAFUE 0 I( • SOUTHERN RHODESIA CHIREPO 5 30 oO I , IS 8 : Q.= Z .

Mac aren showing localities where eels are known to occur in the Zambesi River system. i•-= • 314 PISCATOR No. 38 for January, 1957 I do not know the total number of eels that Maclaren collected in the Zambesi river system from 1954 to 1956 but he first mentioned them in a letter of November 1955 in which he enquired about methods of identifying his captures. The classic work for this purpose is Ege's (1939) "Revision of the genus Anguilla". The characters by which Ege separates all the known species of eel include colour, dentition and certain body proportions, in particular that of the "distance between verticals through anus and origin of dorsal fin in percentage of the total length". In 1948 Dr. Ege made me a key, based on this ano-dorsal fin length character and the colour of the fish, by which to separate the four species of eels he records from African fresh waters : namely Anguilla nebulosa labiata Peters, the mottled long-finned eel; A. marmorata Quoy and Gaimard, a mottled eel; A. mossambica Peters, the plain long-finned eel and A. bicolor bicolor McClelland, the plain short-finned eel. As this key is given in my paper on the eels of Kenya (1955) I sent a copy of this publication to Mr. Maclaren who then made the body measurements requisite for establishing the fin-length character ("D" in the table below) on nine specimens of his collection and sent the data obtained, together with notes on coloration, that on them I might identify his eels. Later he sent me four of these specimens and also one eel and the head of another which he himself had not examined, which I received December 31, 1956. All these had been preserved in formalin. Thus there are measurements and colour data on ten eels. The information on which the eels have been identified is given in the table. Although these eels from the Zambesi have been identified, it is believed correctly, on colour and one morphometric character only, it should be noted that Ege (1939) gives other length characters, together with dentition, for separating the four African species of Anguilla.

Anguilla nebulosa labiata (the mottled long-finned eel). Seven whole specimens) and one head, possibly this species. Anguilla marmorata (?) (a mottled eel). One specimen. I query this because Ege (1939) records only a single specimen of this species from the African mainland, and recent enquiries about the identity of this specimen made by Dr. K. H. Barnard of the South African Museum indicate that it was not in fact A. marmorata (in litt). LOWER ZAMBESI RIVER (CHIPEPO). (Maclaren sites Chipepo as 28° 50' E. 16° 45' S.) Anguilla nebulosa labiata. One specimen. Anguilla mossambica (the plain long-finned eel). One specimen, identified on Maclaren's data of "unmottled" and "D=14.1", but correspondence and time and place of capture suggest this fish may be the same specimen (95.5 cm) as that examined by me and identified, because mottled, as A.n. labiata. This confusion questions the record of A. mossambica. In a letter of February 22, 1956, Maclaren noted that the eels from the Liemfwa river (a tributary of the Luangwa which itself runs into the Zambesi) were taken above the Power Station Falls "by the grid at the end of the canal leading to the intake of a hydro-electric station and so were presumably going downstream. To get to this river young eels would have to surmount a series of cascades totally 250 feet". In his first letter (Nov. 1955) about his captures at the Power Station he remarks: "I think it physically impossible for any fish to get up the falls and rapids which would point to the fact that the species [A.n. labiata] is not katadromous". This last suggestion is challenged by the capture, in January and February 1956. of two elvers,* which I identified as A.n. labiata, in the Mzinga Creek, Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika, 200 yards above high water mark. This find suggests that it is highly probable that the adult A.n. labiata descends to the sea to breed and thus we may assume that the large A.n. labiata of the Lunsemfwa River arose from elvers which entered the Zambesi river and which either as eNers or eels were able to negotiate the obstacles to their upstream migration. That eels are widely distributed in the Zambesi river system is apparent from the figure, a sketch map drawn for me by Mr. Maclaren to show "the river systems which are known to have eels". He comments that "there are no definite records above Victoria Falls and do not know the Southern Rhodesian tributaries of the Zambesi". The localities shown on the map refer primarily to the presence of eels not to any particular species. The records noted above of A.n. labiata based on the eels collected by Mr. Maclaren are the only records of this species from the Zambesi river system in Northern Rhodesia, the other locality in this watershed from which A.n. labiata has been recorded is Tette in Portuguese East Africa (Ege 1939) for which country there is also one other record, the Licuare River, Boror. It may be mentioned that of the three other species which Ege records from East and South Africa (see above) there is no record of A. mossambica from the Zambesi system and A. bicolor bicolor has been noted from one locality only in this region, the Licuare River, in Boror, Portuguese East Africa. Mr. Maclaren's collections of eels have added appreciably to our knowledge of the dis- tribution of Anguilla in African freshwaters. Records of eels (and elvers) from African waters are most welcome since not only do they extend our knowledge of the distribution of Anguilla spp. but they throw light on the biology of eels of Africa about which so little is known.

  • UK and Colonies
    This document was archived on 27 July 2017 UK and Colonies 1. General 1.1 Before 1 January 1949, the principal form of nationality was British subject status, which was obtained by virtue of a connection with a place within the Crown's dominions. On and after this date, the main form of nationality was citizenship of the UK and Colonies, which was obtained by virtue of a connection with a place within the UK and Colonies. 2. Meaning of the expression 2.1 On 1 January 1949, all the territories within the Crown's dominions came within the UK and Colonies except for the Dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland, India, Pakistan and Ceylon (see "DOMINIONS") and Southern Rhodesia, which were identified by s.1(3) of the BNA 1948 as independent Commonwealth countries. Section 32(1) of the 1948 Act defined "colony" as excluding any such country. Also excluded from the UK and Colonies was Southern Ireland, although it was not an independent Commonwealth country. 2.2 For the purposes of the BNA 1948, the UK included Northern Ireland and, as of 10 February 1972, the Island of Rockall, but excluded the Channel Islands and Isle of Man which, under s.32(1), were colonies. 2.3 The significance of a territory which came within the UK and Colonies was, of course, that by virtue of a connection with such a territory a person could become a CUKC. Persons who, prior to 1 January 1949, had become British subjects by birth, naturalisation, annexation or descent as a result of a connection with a territory which, on that date, came within the UK and Colonies were automatically re- classified as CUKCs (s.12(1)-(2)).

African Review Vol. 41, No. 1, 2014: 35-70 Conceiving the Tanganyika-Zanzibar Union in the Midst of the Cold War: Internal and International Factors Ethan R. Sanders* Abstract To what extent was international pressure placed on Nyerere and Karume to unify their two states in April 1964? The argument made is that even though Americans were initially very pleased with the outcome of the Union—because they thought it would help stem the spread of communism in the region—this was not a Western-initiated plan forced upon East African leaders. Indeed, the evidence shows that Americans were largely in the dark and in fact very frustrated by their lack of influence on the situation. Instead, the Union merely served as a confluence of African and American interests. The internal factors are inspected by highlighting African concerns over outside interference, worries about domestic stability, and a desire by Karume to consolidate his power.
