Abstract/NotesThe discovery of tin-ore in Ankole (south-western Uganda) led to a great deal of prospecting on the part of qualified and unqualified, experienced and inexperienced, individuals, not only in the vicinity of the original discoveries, but also in many other parts of the Protectorate. One of the results of this activity was the finding, by a prospector, of a deposit of alleged coal at a spot rather less than 25 miles WNW. (approx.) of Kampala and about 35 miles NW. of Entebbe. With reference to this, the discoverer was told by the Geological Survey that his hoped-for fuel was in reality tourmaline, but inasmuch as it was associated with a pinkish-buff mica characteristic of the stanniferous pegmatites of Ankole, further search might disclose the presence of tinstone.
