A rectification in the cartography of North-East Tasmania

The so-called Saddleback is one of the tor-mountains eminently characteristic of the N.E. plateau of Tasmania, which is the main divide for the river system in that part of the State. Like its adjacent neighbour, Ben Nevis, it rises from the southern edge of the plateau, though its spurs running in that directioaa descend to the foot of the upland and join with the ranges flanking the north bank of the South Esk. The mountain takes the form of a short ridge with an axis lying about south-west—north-east, its structure being like that of the other plateau-mountains, diabase. The eastern face is precipitous, and towers over the Ringarooma-Mathinna track, which passes it at an elevation of about 2,200 feet, and not far from the base.
