VOLCANIC CONES ON THE MAINLAND.

foothills can be seen to be decreasing slightly in height westwards towards the 
base of the Admiralty Range, and thus appear to mark off a great longitudinal 
valley running parallel to the coast. 
Cape McCormick. 
On the end of Cape McCormick, latitude 72° S., there are two bare cones which 
rise 1000 feet above the sea-cliff. They have crateriform summits which bear a 
striking resemblance to Crater Hill near the Winter Quarters of the Expedition.

Mount Brewster. 
Mount Brewster, on the north-east side of Lady Newnes Bay, though it does not 
attain a great altitude, is noteworthy. The mountain is about 3000 feet high, and 
rises from the flat lowland at the base of the mountain range. The range with its 
angular spurs towers above the foothills, and Mount Brewster with even outline rises 
but little above the snow-covered land around it. The summit of this hill is slightly 
flattened, and some part of the crater may still remain. 
Mount Melbourne. 
This mountain, 8000 feet in altitude, is situated in latitude 74|° S., longitude 
165° E., and on three sides rises directly from the sea ; on the fourth side it is joined 
to a range of higher peaks. The slopes of the mountain are not markedly convex, but
