LEOPOLD II

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 462 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LEOPOLD II ., a lake of Central Africa in the basin of the Kasai affluent of the Congo, cut by 2 S. and 18 1o' E. It has a length N. to S. of about 75 m., is 30 M. across at its northern end, tapering towards its southern end. Numerous bays and gulfs render its outline highly irregular. Its shores are
flat
  and marshy, the lake being (in all
probability
 ) simply the lowest
part
  of a vast lake which existed here before the Kasai
system
  breached the barrierat Kwa mouthseparating it from the Congo. The lake is fed by the Lokoro (about 300 M.
long
 ) and smaller streams from the
east
 . Its northern and western affluents are comparatively unimportant. It discharges its waters (at its southern end) into the Mfini, which is in reality the
lower
  course of the Lukenye. The lake is gradually diminishing in area; in the
rainy
  season it overflows its
banks
 . The surrounding country is very
flat
  and densely wooded.
See KASAI; and articles and maps in Le Mouvement geog., specially vol. xiv., No. 29 (1897) and vol. xxiv., No. 38 (1907).
