Point Moebius. In fact, looking from this point towards the 
chain, Alexandra Peak must have nearly entirely covered 
Margherita Peak, while the Moebius, Elena and Savoia Peaks 
must have been visible nearly straight in front, as they are 
shown in the plate. Brix Forster’s article contains other 
inaccuracies. From the upper valley of Butagu, Stuhlmann 
saw no other mountains beyond the two photographed by him, 
nor is there any mention in his book of a third mountain beyond, 
of which be had caught any glimpse in the opening between

the two. The interpretation of Moore’s ascent is entirely 
erroneous, nor did Moore see from the ridge the other mountain 
groups, as the author states. The valley ascended by David 
could not be the Russurubi, for the Russurubi does not lead to 
any col near 16,000 feet. Finally, Brix Forster is mistaken 
in waiting that Dr. Wollaston ascended the Semper Peak of 
Mt. Baker. He also states in his article that the highest 
peaks of Ruwenzori are rocky.
