Fig. 1 is a rough diagrammatic sketch of Cape 

 Flora, based principally on Mr. JACKSON'S map of 

 Franz Josef Land, Dr. KCETTLITZ'S sketch of Gully 

 Rocks (1. c. p. 624), and on an excellent and elaborate 

 geological map of the south coast of the cape by 

 Lieut. ARMITAGE and Dr. KCETTLITZ of the Jackson- 

 Harmsworth Expedition, which the latter has had the 

 great kindness to send me with permission to use it. 

 My photographs have also helped to make the sketch 

 correct. The north coast is principally done from 

 memory. This part of the sketch cannot therefore 

 claim to approach correctness, but may perhaps, in 

 spite of this, be an aid to the verbal description 1 . 



Figs. 2 and 3 are two views of the cape seen 

 from the south and the south-west. Fig. 4 is a sketch 

 of the cape and the hills to the east seen from the 

 north. It is made from a sketch by Dr. K(ETTUTZ. 



By the aid of these figures and the map, it will 

 probably be easy to form a fairly correct idea of the 

 topographical conditions of the place. 



Like most parts of Franz Josef Land, Cape Flora 

 has the character of a plateau. It is a flat-topped 

 hill, capped with a considerable sheet of basalt which 

 in most places is nearly horizontal. 



There is a striking difference between the southern 

 and northern sides of this hill. While it is highest 

 in its southern part, and the face here is steep, with 

 exposed, partly vertical cliffs above, and a steep talus 

 below (see figs. % and 3), the hill slopes more or less 

 gently down to the sea towards the north and north-west, 



1 I sent a copy of this diagrammatic sketch to Dr. Kcettlitz 

 just as these pages went to press. I have received the 

 copy back with his corrections and remarks, which lie lias 

 kindly made us exactly as he could from memory, being 

 away from home on an expedition in Abyssinia. His sug- 

 gestions have been introduced in fig. 1, and I wish here 

 to express to him iny gratitude for his pains-taking interest, 

 shown even when he was engaged in a new expedition.
