Maps and Profiles. In the atlas accompanying this report will be 

 found a large representation of all these White Mountain districts. The

more minute information concerning the topography of this region, the 

 reader is referred to this sketch. Many of the features will be referred 

 to in the descriptions of the formations building up the eminences. 



The atlas will also show a large number of mountain profiles taken 

 from several points of view. The following have been kindly furnished 

 by Geo. F. Morse, of Portland, Me.: I. Panorama from Mt. Pequawket. 

 2. White Mountains, from the "Bill Merrill" hill in Maine. 3. Panorama 

 from Trafton mountain, Cornish, Me. 4. View of the Carter and Bald- 

 face mountains in Chatham, Bean's purchase, and vicinity. 5. Profiles, as 

 seen from Mt. Caribou, Me. 6. Same, from Pleasant mountain. 7. Part 

 of a panorama from Mt. Carrigain. We hope to add other panoramic 

 profile views from Mt. Washington, and, possibly, from other prominent 

 peaks. A greater amount of exact topographical information cannot be 

 given, except after elaborate surveys, such as have never been contem- 

 plated by the act authorizing the present explorations.
