Abstract
ON September 3, 1874, from the Piz Muraun, near Dissentis, I saw the white dome of Mont Blanc, distant about 110 English miles. As the Piz Muraun is only about 9500 feet I was sceptical, till a reference to maps showed a line of intervening depressions. I feel sure that some Alpine tourists will be able to furnish Herr Metzger with cases of mountains identified at distances vastly exceeding this of mine.
