The highest passes are : Alto de Toledo (15,590 ft.),- ^t 

 uniilas (15,590 ft.), and Assuay (15,526 ft.).t 



In the Alps, we adopted as the mean for the passes 7,550 ft. 



As the highest pass, at least informer times, not unfrequently 

 used for commercial purposes, we may refer to the St. Theodule 

 pass (11,001 ft.).1: There are, however, besides indaUaiioM 

 {Scharten) practicable for travellers, which are considerably high- 

 er, — exceeding 12,000 ft. Among others is the Old Weissthor, 

 which we found to be 11,871 ft. ;:}: another pass, the passage to 

 Saas, recently called the New Weissthor, is marked on our map 

 of Monte Eosa with the height of 12,136 ft. The height of the 

 Col da Geant in the Mont Blanc group is 11,197 ft.:{:
