GEOLOGY OF THE WHITE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT. 269 



the names of Wildcat and Carter Dome were adopted for the mountains on the south- 

 west and north-east sides of Carter notch, the last being the soutliern end and the 

 highest (4830) part of the unbroken Carter range. It replaces Mt. Height. Mts. East- 

 man and Sable have been altered somewhat in position. Mt. Slope in Chatham should 

 be written Sloop, in accordance with local usage since the days of Belknap's (1791) 

 map. Perkins notch, between Wildcat river and Wild river, is now for the first time 

 placed upon a map. 



There may be several additions to minor topographical features upon Mt. Washing- 

 ton. Cutler's river seems, according to the best judgment, to be the same with Ellis 

 above the Pinkham road, New river being between this and Glen Ellis fall. Hunting- 

 ton's ravine was improperly described on page 188. It is the second ravine parallel 

 with and north of Tuckerman's, tributary to the valley called by that name in the first 

 volume. Pine hill, formerly Camel's Rump, has become Pine mountain. Hart's moun- 

 tain is properly the steep bluff just above Wilkes's ledge, opposite Sawyer's rock, but, 

 as I have applied it to the summit of the range opposite Nancy river (not brook), I 

 think it best to leave it as pertaining to the whole range. Wilkes's ledge is often im- 

 properly called Hart's. 



Owl's Head, at tlie north end of Cherry mountain, has been styled Mt. Martha, and 

 the name adopted by the geodetic connection survey. The Willey range, from its 

 beginning near the White Mountain house as far as Mt. Tom, may be known as the 

 Rosebrook range, the highest peak to the south being identified now with the Mt. Echo 

 of Guyot. Mt. Andalusite is a small eminence on the north-east flank of Mt. Tom. 

 Mt. Field was adopted by the club for the high mountain south of Tom, and its north 

 spur (p. 177) maybe known as Mt. Avalon. Thoreau falls designates the "falls on the 

 north branch of the east branch of the Pemigewasset." Mt. Anderson is the name of 

 the i^ointed summit between j\Its. Lowell and Nancy, after John F. Anderson, of Port- 

 land, engineer-in-chief of the P. & O. R. R. Vose's Spur is applied to the very sharp 

 peak between Carrigain notch and Mt. Carrigain, after Prof. G. L. 'Vose, of Brunswick, 

 Me., one of the former assistants on the geological survey. Passaconnaway and Tri- 

 pyramid are accepted for the mountains thus called by us. (See p. 211.) Mt. Kancam- 

 agus is proposed for the unnamed mountain just east of Greeley pond ; Mt. Paugus for 

 the highest peak between Mts. Chocorua and Whiteface ; and Mt. Wonalancet for what 

 has been known as Toad mountain. 



The mountains around Upper Bartlett are now coming into prominence, with the 

 increased facilities for their ascent. From the cliffs near the mouth of Rocky Branch to 

 the neighborhood of Mt. Crawford, east of Razor brook and north of the Saco, is the 

 following array of names : White's ledge, Mts. Stanton, Pickering, Langdon [Black- 

 well] , and Parker. Willoughby ledge is at the east angle of Razor brook and Saco river. 

 On the south, there was not such a unanimity of sentiment as to names. Jl/oaf seems 

 to have been the original spelling of the high mountains west of Conway. Silver Spring 

 mountain having been applied to the summit rising back from Sawyer's rock by Prof. 

 Bond, in 1853, has since then been adopted by Guyot, Snow & Bradlee's model, and
