PLATE CXIIL THE RIGHT BANK OF FERRAR GLACIER. 



From photographs by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 294-299 inclusive, ^-plates), Dec. 8, 

 1903 ; taking in an angle of 180 from W. through S. to E. (Map B.) 



From left to right, the left bearing due E. and the right due W. while the 

 centre bears S., are to be made out the following points : Just above the sledges 

 some dark rocks, known as the Solitary Rocks, and to their right the arm of Ferrar 

 Glacier, known as East Fork, up which the sledge party made its way from sea-level 

 in M'Murdo Sound. To the left of the Solitary Rocks, another small arm of the 

 glacier known as the North Fork, which does not reach the sea. East Fork and 

 North Fork are divided by the Kukri Hills. In the far distance, and above the 

 East Fork, is to be seen the Royal Society Range ; and covering it to the right, but 

 much nearer, in succession from left to right, come Knob Head Mountain, New 

 Mountain, Beacon Heights, Pyramid Mountain, and Finger Mountain at the end of 

 the chain. Still to the right of this is seen Finger Mountain Ice - fall and the 

 passage to the Inland-ice bearing due W., 7500 feet above the level of the sea.
