On the Heights of Mountains in Norway. 233 
of the Norwegian Engineers. Numerous determinations of 
heights have been made in Norway during the last thirty or 
forty years; but still, in a country abounding as it does in 
extensive and very inaccessible mountainous districts, much 
yet remains to be done in this department ; and thus we find 
from Captain Vibe’s Tables, that the precise heights of the 
highest summits of Norway, and, therefore, of Scandinavia, 
have not been determined with certainty: this, however, 
ought not to surprise us, when we remember how recently 
Ben-na-muic-dui was ascertained to be the highest point in 
Great Britain. 
In Captain Vibe’s tables, the heights, which amount to 
about 1200 in number, are given in round numbers in Rhenish 
feet ; and where two or more good authorities have furnished
