No. 156. Fike's Peak, from near Colorado City, looking up the valley oi 

 the Fountain qui Bouille. Elevation of the peak, 13,893 feet 



No. 157. A view in the GARDEN of the Cods, showing the central 

 line of the upheaved sandstones, with occasional outcrop- 

 pings of the white gypsum beds. The views of 1S73 show 

 this locality to much better advantage. 



Nos. 158-160. Scenes in MONUMENT Park, along Monument Creek, 

 and the small tributaries tliat flow into it from the west, some 

 of the most singular and Unique monument formations to be 

 met with in the whole country, and the three views we have 

 noted give but a faint conception of their beauty. The 1873 

 series does them more justice. These groups are upon a 

 small tributary of Monument Creek, about nine miles above 

 Colorado City. The stream has cut a little valley through a 

 coarse material with layers of irregular deposition, hardened 

 into a compact sandstone, and then comes a thin layer ot 

 iron-stone, or impure limonite, with now and then thin seams 

 of marl or clay, but the whole is a quart/ite material, and 

 rather coarse. The light-colored sandstones below are 

 weathered into most singular columnar or monument-like 

 forms, with thin layers ol rusty sandstone as a cap, protect- 

 ing the summit. 



No. 161. A COLLECTION OF BUFFALO, ELK, DEER. MOUKTAIN-SHBBP, 



AND WOLF SKULLS AND BONES, heaped up in monument 

 form, being all collected near Port Sanders, and shows the 

 abundance of game that once abounded on these plains.
