Topographical Geology. 



8. View of Turner's Falls. This view was taken from the place 

 on the north or Gill shore, already described as the best point for 

 viewing the cataract. Near the small buildings on the right, is the 

 spot where occurred the bloody battle between Capt. Turner and the 

 Indians of which I have given an account. On the eminence a little 

 beyond, was an Indian fort. (Plate IX.) 



9. Sketch of the Gorge or " Glen " in Leyden. In this view the 

 observer looks northerly through one of the wildest portions of the 

 ragged chasm ; having before him at least two interesting cascades. 

 (Plate X.) 



Here I close the second part of my report. It has increased under 

 my pen beyond my expectations. But I could hardly have said less 

 consistently with giving any thing like a correct view of our scenery. 

 If what I have said should lead others to visit and enjoy, as I have 

 done, the spots that have been described, I am sure I shall be the 

 means of imparting much happiness and shall feel a confidence that 

 I have not written in vain. 



Respectfully Submitted,
