• cur | prev 2026 NotTheMudGeometer (talk | contribs) . . (4,440 bytes) (+70) . . (AND THE TOWN IS STILL THERE. SO SOMETHING WERE RIGHT ABOUT IT)
• cur | prev 2016 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (4,370 bytes) (+250) . . (→ he has stated the actual difficulty better than the article did, so it is now in the article. to establish that a range is absent you must go the whole length of it, because a chain is not refuted by one gap. Binger's answer took two years of walking)
• cur | prev 2016 MudGeometer_1844 (talk | contribs) . . (4,120 bytes) (+80) . . (YOU TOOK A MOUNTAIN OFF A MAP BECAUSE ONE FRENCHMAN WALKED PAST IT. I WANT TO SEE THEM ALL WALK PAST IT)
• cur | prev 2012 a sounding (talk | contribs) . . (4,040 bytes) (+300) . . (→ thirteen hundred metres, and no bottom nearer than that anywhere across the position. there is no island. the ship went because the island was on one of its charts and not on another)
• cur | prev 1995 the World Vector Shoreline (talk | contribs) . . (3,740 bytes) (+260) . . (→ i am the standard coastline now and i still have the island. everything drawn from me has it too, which by this point is most things)
• cur | prev 1974 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (3,480 bytes) (+220) . . (→ adding the modern one. Sandy Island struck from the French charts this year, the hydrographers having flown the position and seen open water under them)
• cur | prev 1928 the index (talk | contribs) . . (3,260 bytes) (+240) . . (→ i am the index of Bartholomew's Oxford Advanced Atlas and i still carry them. the plates were seen to a generation ago and nobody has ever been sent to correct an index)
• cur | prev 1898 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (3,020 bytes) (+160) . . (→ Samori Ture has burnt Kong. the town has gone and the range, which was never there, is still in the index)
• cur | prev 1892 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,860 bytes) (−180) . . (→ the last of the forty. off the plates at last, ninety four years after it went on and four after the man walked through it)
• cur | prev 1889 L.-G. Binger (talk | contribs) . . (3,040 bytes) (+200) . . (→ came out at the gulf and drew the traverse as a sheet of its own. mine has on it what is there)
• cur | prev 1888 L.-G. Binger (talk | contribs) . . (2,840 bytes) (+380) . . (→ walked it. i have come from the upper Niger to the gulf by way of the country of Kong, which is the line the range is drawn across, and there is no range. the ground rises and falls and does nothing the maps say it does)
• cur | prev 1877 a school atlas (talk | contribs) . . (2,460 bytes) (+210) . . (→ printed at Groningen for the use of children. the range is on plate twenty one and the children will learn it, which is what an atlas is for)
• cur | prev 1862 the Mud Geometer (talk | contribs) . . (2,250 bytes) (+70) . . (IT IS DRAWN. THAT SETTLES IT. I HAVE ASKED FOR LESS THAN THAT AND BEEN GIVE NOTHING)
• cur | prev 1830 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,180 bytes) (+150) . . (→ so there is nothing left for the mountains to hold back. Rennell died in march and the reason for the range died with the theory. leaving the range)
• cur | prev 1830 R. Lander (talk | contribs) . . (2,030 bytes) (+320) . . (→ my brother and i have taken the river down from Bussa and it comes out at the gulf, through the delta, across the line the range is drawn on. it reaches the sea)
• cur | prev 1813 an engraver (talk | contribs) . . (1,710 bytes) (+260) . . (→ hachured the whole length of it. i am given mountains and i cut mountains. there is no stroke in this trade for a mountain that somebody has reasoned rather than seen)
• cur | prev 1805 J. Cary (talk | contribs) . . (1,450 bytes) (+230) . . (→ joined it eastward to the Mountains of the Moon, so that the system runs unbroken across the continent. two ranges meeting is tidier than one range and a gap)
• cur | prev 1802 A. Arrowsmith (talk | contribs) . . (1,220 bytes) (+200) . . (→ taken from Rennell, who is the best authority there is, and made a principal feature of it)
• cur | prev 1799 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,020 bytes) (+190) . . (→ noting that the hills in the source are hills near one town, reported at second hand, and the range on the sheet runs for hundreds of miles. there is no mark on a map for the difference between those two things)
• cur | prev 1798 J. Rennell (talk | contribs) . . (830 bytes) (+400) . . (→ drawn. the river cannot turn south to the gulf if there is a range along the whole of that side, and there is one; i have named it for the town. the reader will observe that this settles the Niger)
• cur | prev 1796 M. Park (talk | contribs) . . (430 bytes) (+430) . . (created page; reached the river at Segou on the twenty first of july and it runs east, which is the thing that was wanted. there is high ground somewhere away to the south of it. i have that from people who have been there and not from my own eyes, and i have said so)
