176 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



present the principal points ascertained are, by the kindness of 

 Mr. E. Herborn, L. S. 52 Castlereagh Street— That there are two 

 mountains called Sea-view, one so-marked on the Government Maps 

 at the head of the Hastings, the other marked as " Kippara " 

 near the headwater of the Yesabah Creek. Mr. Herborn had 

 Ijeen within a few miles of the former, and on the summit of the 

 latter, which he considers to be, probably, the highest summit in 

 the New England Range. He is not aware that the Hastings 

 River mountain has ever been ascended, and would not advise 

 that the attempt should be made except by a party of experienced 

 bushmen. It was not likely that any efiort in this direction could 

 be made during this autumn, especially after so extraordinary a 

 rainfall as we have had. But all information on the subject 

 would be thankfully received.
