PLATE CXVIL ROYAL SOCIETY RANGE AND FERRAR GLACIER, 



FROM THE BLUE GLACIER. 



FIG. 1. From a photograph by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 244, ^-plate), taken on Dec. 9, 

 1902; looking S.-W. from the top of Descent Pass over the neve at the 

 northern end of Royal Society Range. If this range is followed to the right, 

 it is found to end in the Cathedral Rocks, as seen in Fig. 1, Plate CXVI. 



FIG. 2 (Map B). From photographs by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 69 and 70, ^-plates) ; 

 taken on Dec. 11, 1902; looking over Ferrar Glacier from the neve at the 

 summit of Blue Glacier. On the left is a snow slope, almost entirely 

 covering the Cathedral Rocks, which are the northern limit of the Royal 

 Society Range. Between the Cathedral Rocks and the south side of the 

 Kukri Hills, on the right, is Ferrar Glacier, coming down from the Inland- 

 ice. The summit of Descent Pass, from which the picture is taken, is 

 5000 feet above sea-level, and 2500 feet above the level of Ferrar Glacier at 

 its foot. 



FIG. 3 (Map B). From a photograph by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 228, ^-plate), Dec. 4, 

 1902 ; shows the Royal Society Range, taken from about half-way up the 

 Blue Glacier, looking S.-W. The two peaks are Mount Hooker and Mount 

 Lister.
