Chapter VII. 
Umberto Peak (15,797 feet)'" and Kraepelin Peak (15,752). 
Mt. Gessi includes lolanda Peak (15,647 feet) and Bottego Peak 
(15,483 feet). Last of all, Mt. Luigi di Savoia includes the Peaks 
Weismann (15,299 feet), Sella (15,286 feet) and Stairs (15,059 
feet). The rocky point, opposite Bujongolo (14,826 feet), is 
named after Cagni, who climbed it to complete from it the 
triangulation. 
The principal glaciers have taken their names from the 
peaks from which they flow down. 
The live passes which separate the six groups from one another 
have been named, proceeding from north to south, ftoccati, 
Cavalli, Stuhlmann, Scott Elliot and Freshfield. They are all 
aboye 14,000 feet in height, except Stuhlmann’s Col between 
the two principal groups, Speke and Stanley, which is only 
13,757 feet high. 
The Duke of the Abruzzi has left the native names used by 
the Bakonjo to the valleys, lakes, rivers and torrents. When, 
however, the names were numerous, he took no account of 
them ; and he also left without name those valleys, lakes and 
torrents on the western slopes which were unknown to the 
Bakonjo. It remains for some future explorer to gather the 
native names from the western tribes. 
* Umberto Peak is 15,797 feet high and not 15,907 as was printed by 
error in the map reproduced from that of the Italian Expedition by the Royal 
Geographical Society, and published with H.E.H.’s London lecture in the 
“Geographical Journal ” for February, 1907. The same map also assigns to 
Moebius Peak of Staidey an altitude of 16,214 feet. This altitude is 
merely approximate, because no barometrical observation was taken on 
Moebius Peak. Also the altitude of Weismann Peak is 15,299 feet and not 
15,273 feet. I take this opportunity to note that the highest peak of 
Mt. Baker and the second peak of Mt. Stanley are to be called simply 
Edward Peak and Alexandra Peak, not King Edward and Queen Alexandra; 
by analogy with the names Margherita, Yittorio Emanuele, and Elena Peaks, 
and also with the nomenclature adopted in the neighbouring regions, e.g., 
Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, etc.
