436 STATISTICS RELATIVE TO NORWEGIAN MOUNTAINS, 



north, as stated by Professor Leopold Von Buch in his travels through Sweden 

 and Norway, cannot be fully relied upon. By comparing the various state- 

 ments, we must conclude that the height does not only depend upon the lati- 

 tude, but also to some extent on the longitude as well as physical conditions of 

 the different localities. 



As many of the names of the Norwegian mountains allude to their form or 

 other peculiariiies, I have deemed it expedient to give, in alphabetical order, 

 explanations of such, derived wholly from Major Vibe's measurements of heights. 



I have also enumerated, in alphabetical order, the authors to whom we are 

 indebted for the measurements, with references to the publications in which they 

 have been given. 



I am especially indebted to Mr. Carl Stoud Platou, mayor of this city, Mr. 

 J. Greelmuyden, A. M. and rector of the Latin school, both authors of geographical 

 publications, for much valuable information ; to Dr. Johan Kohren, director of 

 the public museum of Bergen, for his kindness in facilitating for me the use of 

 the manuscripts and general library of the museum ; and to Mr. J. J. Aastrand, 

 director of the observatory of Bergen, for valuable assistance in the arrange- 

 ment of this compilation.
