"The Forth rises on the north side of Benlomond, and runs easterly."--_Glas. Geog_. [FORMULE.--Not proper, because the name "_Benlomond_" is compounded under one capital, contrary to the general analogy of other similar terms. But, according to Rule 7th, "The compounding of a name under one capital should be avoided when the general analogy of other similar terms suggests a separation under two." Therefore, "Ben Lomond" should be written with two capitals and no hyphen.] "The red granite of Ben-nevis is said to be the finest in the world."--_Ib._, ii, 311. "Ben-more, in Perthshire, is 3,915 feet above the level of the sea."--_Ib._, 313. "The height of Benclough is 2,420 feet."--_Ib._.
