As may be seen by this table, the Mobuku Valley was the 
route chosen by the greatest number of the expeditions. By 
this route the high terminal ridge had been reached three times. 
By this route Wollaston and his companions had succeeded in 
ascending two peaks of the chain, one of which was estimated 
at over 16,000 feet high. It would appear that Dr. David must 
have reached a still higher point by the western slopes ; but as 
I have already mentioned, the accounts of his expedition, which 
are at our disposal, are so vague as to render it impossible to 
identify the col which he ascended.
