Elevation of the Mountains on the western coast of Africa.—A correspondent 
informs us that Captain Owen, employed by the Admiralty in the survey of the 
island of Fernando Po, opposite the mouth of the Callabar River, one of the sup- 
posed branches of the mysterious Niger, has taken a trigonometrical mensuration 
of the snow-clad mountains which run parallel with the coast, at the distance of 
twenty miles from the shore, and found the average elevation to be upwards of 
17,000 feet perpendicular. 
The range runs north-east and south-west, between the rivers Del Rey on the 
west, and the Cameroons on the east. This latter river rises on the south-east 
side of this lofty range, which in fact constitutes the eastern boundary of the 
Delta of the Niger, extending more than six degrees of longitude beyond the Rio 
Formosa, its supposed western mouth. The mountainous range between the Del 
Rey and the Cameroons, fronting the shores, is called Terra Alta or the high- 
land of Ambosi, by the Portuguese. The whole coast, east from the Rio For- 
mosa to that range, is completely interwoven with connecting branches of innu- 
merable streams, for more than 200 miles inland. It is, in fact, a complete laby- 
rinth of rivers. The mountains of Fernando Po, as ascertained by Capt. Owen, 
were more than 9000 feet high. These measurements, along with the survey and 
chart of that coast, are deposited in the Admiralty Office.
