In a paper read before the Society in 1907, two of us gave an account of observations made with aneroids on Ben Lomond in 1906 and 1907 with the object of determining the difference of height between Legge Peak, the highest summit in the northern part of the Ben Lomond range, and the trigonometrical station at the southern end of the range. The trigonometrical station is stated on the official maps of Tasmania to have a height of 5010 feet; Cradle Mountain is stated to be 5069 feet, and the Ben Lomond station comes next below it, being thus the second highest of the officially recorded summits.
