Excerpt from The Scottish Biographical Magazine, 1912, Vol. 28Beyond the water-laden mist which completely enveloped the low lying country to the foothills of the central range, fifty miles distant, rose line upon line of knife-edged forestrclad ridges, lying east and west and parallel to the main range, which stretches from one end of the island to the other, a distance of eleven hundred miles. The western section, kn as the Charles Louis Range, throws onta great promontory southward to the sea. T hat portion lying north of the Mimika district, formerly called the Snowy Range, and in which are to be found the highest peaks in the island, will in future be known as the Nassau Range, to the east of which again comes the Orange Range with its high point of Wilhelmina Peak.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
