Point Moebius. In fact, looking from this point towards the 

 chain, Alexandra Peak must have nearly entirely covered 

 Margherita Peak, while the Moebius, Elena and Savoia Peaks 

 must have been visible nearly straight in front, as they are 

 shown in the plate. Brix Forster's article contains other 

 inaccuracies. From the upper valley of Butagu, Stuhlmann 

 saw no other mountains beyond the two photographed by him, 

 nor is there any mention in his book of a third mountain beyond, 

 of which he had caught any glimpse in the opening between

the two. The interpretation of Moore's ascent is entirely 

 erroneous, nor did Moore see from the ridge the other mountain 

 groups, as the author states. The valley ascended by David 

 could not be the Bussurubi, for the Bussurubi does not lead to 

 any col near 16,000 feet. Finally, Brix Forster is mistaken 

 in writing that Dr. Wollaston ascended the Semper Peak of 

 Mt. Baker. He also states in his article that the highest 

 peaks of Buwenzori are rocky.
