Notes 1 Whether Mount Gundabad should be counted as part of Ered Mithrin is open to question. It lay to the extreme west of the range, separated from the main mass of the mountains by some considerable distance. Indeed, it lay rather closer to the northern arc of the Misty Mountains, and could reasonably be counted an outlying member of that range rather than Ered Mithrin. It did, however, clearly follow the same west-east axis as the main range of Ered Mithrin, and so is provisionally included here as part of the same chain of mountains. See also...
