If they do belong, as seems likely, to two parallel ranges, then, at all events in the region where I crossed over them, they are intimately interrelated and intermingled. Littledale depicts them on his map as two separate and quite distinct ridges, running in straight lines; but he only saw them :at a distance, from the south, . and is thus manifestly wrong. But he was at all events the first to testify to their existence.
