Lieutenant Cameron's Sketches in Central Africa: a lake dwelling on Lake Moheya, 1876. A '...feature of some interest is one of the "lake dwellings," the huts erected over the water upon posts or piles, in Lake Moheya, which is a sort of construction also met with in the marshy parts of New Guinea and of Borneo. There are relics of a similar kind on the shores of some lakes in Switzerland, and in other countries of Europe, formerly inhabited by the prehistoric races of mankind'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
