HEIGHT OF MOUNT EGMONT.
The Chief Surveyor of the Taranaki Land District has supplied a New Plymouth journal with the exact altitude of Mount Egmont and surrounding ranges, as obtained by triangulation recently carried on in the district. The exact height of Mount Egmont is 8,260 feet; Pouaki Ranges, 4,590 feet; and Patna or Tataraimaka Ranges, 2,240 feet. Mount Egmont was set down by the Admiralty as being 8,270 feet, which was a very close approximate from observations made on ship-board.
