This lummit appeared in the third diflance, ad- vancing a litde cowaids the eye as it funk to the fouLh-eaf>. It joined the low lands half way down between point 3 and point 2. The paps B, more clearly defined than the land in the neighbourhood of the fummit O, appeared on the fame level, though they were confiderably further off.
