NATURAL HISTORY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 213 
on the South Branch Nepisiguit, which is north of Chatham, and 
since the lines of equal pressure in August run east and west, it 
would seem to be fair to give full value to those of Chatham, and 
ignore those of Fredericton; but since it seems clear that there 
is still a discrepancy not accounted for by the average pressure- 
difference of the two stations, and since I have cause to think, 
for reasons given in Note 62, that the Fredericton station is free 
from this discrepancy, I think it will be fair to give to the control 
from the Chatham station twice the value of that from Frederic- 
ton, and this has accordingly been done in all the following 
measurements. All figures in italic are heights above mean sea 
level, and all of the various places in the vicinity of the South 
Branch are shown on the map accompanying Note 77. 
Mount Bailey (Nictor Lake). Adopted height of the lake 
850; northwest peak 600 feet above lake, hence 1430; south peak, 
1125 feet over the lake, hence 19/5', ^^st peak, 920 feet over lake, 
and hence I'/'/O feet above the sea. 
Paradise Pond. (See Note 77 and map). Mean of nine good 
measurements checked from Fredericton 1251, from Chatham 
1221 ; hence by the above rule the height is about 1250. 
Chief’s Mountain. 960 feet over Paradise Pond; hence 2190 
feet above the sea. Two measurements checked from Fredericton 
gave 2236 feet, and from Chatham 2181 ; these would give, by the 
rule above, 2199. Averaging this with the direct measurement of 
2190, we may accept 2195. 
Scudon Mountain. 830 feet over Paradise Pond, and hence 
2060. 
Acquin Mountain. 70 feet under Chief’s, and hence 2125. 
Hannay Mountain. 909 feet over Paradise Pond; and hence 
2T39. 
Fisher Mountain. 895 feet over Paradise Pond; hence 2125. 
Raymond Mountain. 985 feet over Paradise Pond; hence 
2215. One measurement compared with Fredericton gave 2184, 
with Chatham 2181 ; hence 2182. Averaging this with the direct 
measurement we have 2198. 
First Forks river surface. One measurement from Frederic- 
ton, 1396, from Chatham, 1347; hence by the rule 1363. 
Elizabeth Mountain. 790 feet above the First Forks, and hence 
2153 feet. One measurement checked from Fredericton, 2174; 
from Chatham, 2140; hence by the rule, 2151. Averaging this 
with the direct measurement, 2152.
