Chapter MI. 



Umberto Peak (15,797 feet)-" and Kraepelin Peak (15,752). 

 Mt. Gessi includes lolauda Peak (15,G47 feet) and Bottego Peak 

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

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

 feet). The rocky point, opposite Bujongolo (14,82G feet), is 

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

 triangulation. 



The principal glaciers have taken their names from the 

 peaks from wliicli they flow down. 



The live pa.sses which 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 lieight, except Stuhlmann's Col between 

 the two jjrincipal groups, Speke and Stanley, whicli is only 

 13,757 feet high. 



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



the Bakonjo to the valleys, lakes, rivers and torrents. When, 



however, the names were numerous, he took no account of 



them ; and he also left without name those valleys, lakes and 



torrents on tlie western slopes wiiich were unknown to the 



Bakonjo. It i-emains for some future explorer to gather the 



native names from the western tribes. 



* Umberto Peak is 1.5,797 feet high and not 15,907 as was printed by 

 error in the map reproduced from that of the Italian Expedition by the Royal 

 Geographical Society, and published with H.K.H.'s London lecture in the 

 "Geographical Journal " for February, 1907. The same map also assigns to 

 Moebius Peak of Stanley an altitude of 16,214 feet. This altitude is 

 merely approximate, because no barometrical observation was taken on 

 Moebius Peak. Also the altitude of Weismann Peak is 15,299 feet and not 

 15,27.3 feet. I take this opportunity to note that the highest peak of 

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

 Edward Peak and Alexandra Peak, not King Edwartl and Queen Alexandra ; 

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

 and also with the nomenclature adojited in the neighbouring regions, e.ij., 

 Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, etc.
