HANNINGTON, a shallow lake (7 m. by 2 m.) in Kenya Colony, south of Lake Baringo, just south of the Equator. It lies in the eastern rift-valley, in the shadow of the Laikipia escarp ment. It was named after Bishop Hannington ; its waters are brackish, its shores having on them remnants of an ancient forest which serve as an eyrie for storks, herons and eagles, whilst on the flat banks congregate thousands of flamingoes. There are valuable guano deposits here.
