The heights of the mountains in the interior of this con- 

 tinent are unknown. Some of them must^ be great, and, 

 amongst the rest, it is known that the Atlas rises beyond the 

 limit of perpetual congelation, and therefore exceeds 13,000 

 feet. Of the mountains of the islands and the southern ex- 

 tremity, the following are the most important : — 



Peak of TenerifFe, 12,171 feet 



Ambotismene (Madagascar) 11,405 



Pieton des Neiges (Isle of Bourbon) 10,061 

 Pico (Azores) 7913
