This view embraces a part of the highest peaks of the West-lloriah chain. ^Nipple top lies west of Dii 

 peak, and is quite insulated ; it is a bold steep mountain by itself, lying directly north of Clear pond. The 

 range upon the right passes south by the observer, from the point where the view was taken.

Mount Marcy is the middle peak in this view, distant about twelve or fifteen miles. The peak upon the 

 left is Mount McMartin, lying west of the preceding. The view is from near the landing on the west side of 

 Lake Sanford.

 walls are about one hundred feet Iiigh. 



View of Glea's-Falls, 189 



This view was taken twenty or tliirty rods below the bridge. Since this was taken, some alterations have 

 been made in the south end of the bridge ; the whole space has been tilled up from the water to form this 

 structure. 



View of the Adirondack from Warrensburgh, 191 



This view was taken from Harrington's hill, near the village of Warrensburgh. Mount Marcy is the 

 highest point. It includes merely the group; but few of the intermediate mountains are introduced. The 

 serrated top is a mountaui in Moriah, west of Pondsville. The low mountains in the foreground arc those 

 adjoining Warrensburgh. The group is forty miles north from this village. 



Great trap dyke at Avalanche lake, 215 



This dyke is excavated to the depth of about one hundred feet. It is eighty feet wide, and extends cast up 

 the mountain. Immense masses of rock, lying in all directions, arc encountered in the gorge. A slide from 

 the summit of the mountain terminates upon the south wall of the dyke. It laid the rock entirely bare in its 

 descent, and the contents of which were precipitated into Avalanche lake. Mount Mclntyre is immediately 

 west.
