PLATE CXXV. FINGEE MOUNTAIN. 



From photographs by E. W. SKELTON (Sk. 85 and 86, ^-plates) ; facing about S. 

 from the surface of Ferrar Glacier; Feb. 2, 1902. (Map B.) 



"A wedge of sandstone here separates two sheets of dolerite, one of which 

 caps the hill, while the other separates the wedge from the major portion of the 

 sandstone below it, but without disturbing the general horizontality of the bedding. 

 The whole sequence occupies a cliff of 500 feet. One bed of sandstone after 

 another is cut out by the dolerite, as it transgresses them upwards to the south of 

 Finger Mountain." See Ferrar, Nat. Hist. Rep,, vol. i., p. 44 ; Scott, Voyage of 

 the ' Discovery,' vol. ii., p. 240.
