An aneroid measurement made with all the precautions 
described in earlier notes, and checked for weather from the 
Fredericton 'and Chatham stations, made it 2572 and 2524 feet 
respectively above mean sea level. Its height measured from our 
camp, the elevation of which was determined by two measure- 
ments checked from the two stations, was 2438 and 2424. The 
mean of these four is 2489 feet. This agrees well with a direct 
aneroid measurement (910 feet) of its height above Dunn Lake, 
of which the elevation* (1572 feet) was determined last year, 
and with the fact that it is somewhat higher than the neighboring 
Thunder Mountain which I made 2468 feet in 1900. My figures 
are certainly conservative and under rather than over the true 
amount, so that I have no question this mountain will be found

to reach fully 2500 feet. Like Carleiton and others of our higher 
mountains, it suffers in apparent height from the fact that ff 
rises from an elevated plateau, itself 2000 feet and more in 
height. Thus I made the plateau some three miles northwest of 
it over 2200 feet (Note 98 following). It stands at one end. and

in New Brunswick, the very roof of the province, that separating
