fairly accurate plot of all the sections of our map. The result 

 is given herewith. 



One can readily see some method now in the queer 

 physiographic features of Cape Evans. It can be subdivided 

 into several zones, which may be tabulated as follows, pro- 

 ceeding inland (east) towards Erebus : — 



1. Kenyte cliffs and ridges, of rock in situ (about fifty feet 

 above sea-level and chiefly to the south and west of the Cape). 



2. Low-lying plains with lakes about twenty feet above sea-

level, due to erosion and deposition from 1 (chiefly in the 

 north-east of the cape). 



3. Glacierets and ice-dams running north and south, and 

 due chiefly to drifts distributed by the southern blizzards. 

 On the low cape and on the Ramp also. 



4. The continuous " Ramp " ; a steep slope (30 ) extend- 

 ing from "Low Cliff" practically to Land's End Cliff, i.e. 

 about two miles. It varies in height from 100 to 150 feet 

 above sea-level. Partly composed of rock in situ and partly 

 of moraine just uncovered by the retreating glacier of Erebus.
