ABSTRACT

F ROM APRIL TO JUNE, 1960, a geological team from the University of Ghent at the Lower Semliki, south of Lake Albert, sought to settle the question of existing relations between peneplains and sedimentary formations of the Albertine Rift. R. Paepe carefully studied the morphology of the region south of Bunia-Bogoro, and A. Gautier explored the paleontology of the deposits of the valleys of the Sinda and the Mohari. Political events unfortunately interrupted our research at a crucial phase, but the data gathered yield interesting conclusions. W e brought back to Belgium much paleontological material which is the basis of this discussion.'
