On the Heights of Mountains, &c., in Norway. 
Our geographical works and books of travels are, for the 
most part, singularly vague and inaccurate on the subject of 
the heights of mountains, mountain-passes, &e., in Norway, 
and very incorrect as to the orthography of the names. We 
are therefore glad that the means of remedying these de- 
fects, so far as the present state of knowledge admits of, are 
amply supplied in the Second Part of Keilhau’s Gaea Nor- 
vegica, which we have just received. A long chapter of that 
important work is devoted to elaborate tables of heights, which 
have been carefully prepared from the very best published 
and manuscript sources of information,* by Captain A. Vibe, 
* As many of the published works and memoirs which have afforded 
materials for Captain Vibe’s Tables are entirely unknown in this country, 
we subjoin a list of the principal authorities quoted by him :—
