Twenty-eight views presented by the U. S. Geological Survey (Bailey Willis) 

 Size, 6 by 8 inches. Figures in parentheses are original numbers 



1283 (3). Crater lake, Mount Rainier, Washington ; elevation 5,200 feet. View 



of a lake on the northwest slope of Mount Ranier, having a diameter 

 of about half a mile. It is probably a large crater. The rocks are 

 glaciated and their rounded form is shown in the point extending 

 from the group of trees on the right down to the lake. 



1284 (5). North Puyallup glacier, Mount Rainier, from Eagle Cliff. General view 



from same point as number 6, showing the Puyallup canyon, about 

 2,000 feet deep, and the Puyallup glacier in the distance. 



1285 (6). North Puyallup glacier, Mount Rainier, from Eagle Cliff. General 



view of the northwestern slope, comprising the Puyallup glacier and 

 the Liberty Cap; elevation 14,000 feet. The head of the glacier in 

 the hollow on the left is about four miles away, at an elevation of 

 10,000 feet. The terminus of the glacier, consisting of two fan-like 

 tongues, is lost in the lower right-hand corner of the picture in the 

 fog. 



1286 (7). Liberty Cap from near Spray falls, Mount Rainier. Detailed view of 



the northwestern slope, showing the central portion of the Puyallup 

 glacier and the precipitous slopes of the Liberty Cap, which rises 

 3,500 to 4,000 feet above it. 



1287 (9). Evening on the northwestern slope of Mount Rainier. View of the snow- 



fields, with a group of krummholtz in the foreground ; elevation about 

 7,000 feet. The summit of Mount Rainier is about four miles distant, 

 and the intervening snow-fields are broken by crops of andesitic 

 lavas and scoriae. The solid rock surfaces are extensively glaciated. 



1288 (10). Northwestern slope from 10,000 feet, Mount Rainier. View of the head 



of the Puyallup glacier and the Liberty Cap, showing details of 

 crevasses and the distribution of snow in August, 18G5. 



1289 (14). Carbon River glacier, Mount Rainier. View from the eastern lateral 



moraine of the Carbon River glacier, showing the sweep of the ice 

 as it descends from beneath the great northern amphitheater of 

 Mount Rainier. In the foreground the slope of the lateral moraine 

 toward the glacier shows how extensively it has lost in volume, and 

 the ice is covered with morainal material. 



1290 (15). Flora east of Carbon River glacier, Mount Rainier. August flora on 



the edge of the Carbon River glacier. 



1291 (17). Ice cascades, head of Carbon river, Mount Rainier. View in the great 



amphitheater, the gathering point of the Carbon River glacier. On 

 the left of the picture the cliffs rise 6,000 feet to the Liberty Cap and 

 the glacier flows out to the right (see number 14). 



1292 (21). Jointed granite, Denny creek, Snoqualmie, Washington. . Glacial am- 



phitheater eroded in the granite. The streams of this portion of the 

 Cascade range descend by a series of steps, each of which is attributed 

 to the retrogressive work of glacial action (see number 25).
