Umberto Peak (15,797 feet)" and Kraei^eliii Peak (15,752). 

 Mt. Gessi includes Iolanda Peak (15,647 feet) and Bottego Peak 

 (15,483 feet). Last of all, Mt. Luigi di Savoia includes the Peaks 

 Weismann (15,299 feet). Sella (15,286 feet) and Stairs (15,059 

 feet). The rocky point, o})})osite Bujongolo (14,826 feet), is 

 named after Cagni, who climbed it to complete from it the 

 triangulatioii. 



The princi})al glaciers have taken their names from the 

 peaks fioiii wliicli they flow down. 



Tlie five passes wliicli separate the six groups from one another 

 have been named, proceeding from north to south, Roccati, 

 Cavalli, Stuhlmann, Scott Elliot and Freshfield. They are all 

 above 14,000 feet in height, except Stuhlmann's Col between 

 the two 23rinci])al groups, Speke and Stanley, which is only 

 13,757 feet Iiigli. 



The Duke of tlie Abruzzi has left the native names used by 



the Bakonjo to tlie \allevs, lakes, rivers and torrents. When, 



however, tlie names were iiumerous, he took no account of 



them ; and Ik- also left without name those valleys, lakes and 



torrents on the western slopes which were unknown to the 



Bakonjo. It lemaiiis for some futm^e exjilorer to gather the 



native names I'roni the western tribes. 



* Uml)erto Peak is 1.5,797 feet high and not 15,907 as was printed In' 

 livvov ill the iiiuj) ie])ri)duced from that of the Italian Expedition by the Royal 

 Geograjjhieal Society, and pul)lished with H. 11.11. 's London lecture in the 

 "Geographical Journal " for Felmiar}', 1907. The same map also assigns to 

 Moehins Peak of Stanley an altitude of 1(),L*14 feet. This altitude is 

 merely approximate, because no barometrical observation was taken on 

 Moebius I'eak. Also the altitude of M'eismaini I'eak is l."),299 feet and not 

 15,273 feet. I take this opportunity to note that the highest peak of 

 Mt. Baker and the second peak of jNlt. Staidey are to be called simply 

 Edward Peak and Alexandra Peak, not /u/*'/ Edward and Qxccn Alexandra; 

 by analogy with the names Margherita, Vittorio Emanuele, and Elena Peaks, 

 and also with the nomenclature adopted in the neigh1)ouring regions, r.t/., 

 Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, etc.
