PLATE CXVL ROYAL SOCIETY RANGE AND FERRAR GLACIER, 

 FROM THE TOP OF BLUE GLACIER. 



FIG. 1 (Map B). From photographs by R. W. SKELTON, Dec. 9, 1902 (Sk. 246 and 

 247, |-plates) ; taken looking westward over the lower reaches of Ferrar 

 Glacier, from the top of Descent Pass. Descent Pass formed a practicable 

 though difficult passage from the summit of Blue Glacier and the neve at the 

 foot of the northern end of Royal Society Range, to the surface of Ferrar 

 Glacier. On the left are the Cathedral Rocks, and on the right the Kukri 

 Hills ; between them is the South Arm of Ferrar Glacier. 



FIG. 2 (Map B). From photographs by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 239-242 inclusive, 

 l-plates), Dec. 8, 1902. 



In this panorama, which was taken from a point 3000 feet above sea-level, is 

 a view of the Royal Society Range with its snow covered peaks, including from 

 left (i.e. south) to right (i.e. north), Mount Huggins (12,870 feet), Mount Riicker 

 (11,260 feet), Mount Hooker, and Mount Lister (12,995 feet). The camp is placed 

 in the neve valley at the foot of the north end of this range, and at the summit 

 of Blue Glacier.
