[80]. I discovered this error in a rather practical fashion by ascending the wrong mountain.

[81]. Vula Votu is the name of a peak lying to the east. Ngoinangai is a forked mountain still further east.
[82]. A kind of “edible” bird’s-nest is found in this cave.
[83]. This rock is described on p. [251].
[84]. It is described under Sample C on p. [325].
[85]. It is granular, but fuses in the blowpipe flame into a clear glass and gelatinises in HCl. Probably a form of natrolite.
[86]. It is described under Sample D on p. [326].
