BCA - British Central Africa - the original name for Nyasaland

kilto = ditto

Mulan guzi = Mulunguzi River

Malangi - what is known and spelled as Mulanje today. Mulanje is the highest mountain in the country at around 3000 m.

Bottom left photo should be 'Fort Anderson', which commanded the south end of Mlanje and controlled the passage of the Ruo River into Portuguese East Africa. All Nyasaland's forts were built in order to quell the slave trade.

Bottom right - Fort Lister controlled the 'gap', which was a regular slave route, between Mount Mlanje and Mount Mchese on the path to Quelimane on the Portuguese East Africa coast. .

One of the 'Browns' in the top right hand picture could be Henry, who developed an estate near Fort Anderson. He was one of the first settlers to attempt to grow tea in the area, he might even have been the first.

The highest peak on Mulanje is Sapitwa, at 3002 metres above sea level. Forts Anderson and Lister were built "to guard the north and south ends of Mlanje" and were named "to commemorate the sympathy and assistance I had received at the hands of Sir Villiers Lister and Sir Percy Anderson of the Foreign Office in carrying out my projects for the suppression of the slave trade." H.H. Johnston, "British Central Africa", p119. The peak in the top left hand photo looks very much like that in photo108-99.

These are possibly taken on Lake Malawi - or Nyasa, as was.
