comes another of less prominence, Fisher (2,125 feet), and south 
of that a well-rounded summit, less conspicuous than Hannay, 
.but really loftier and of wider outlook, Raymond Mountain, 
(2,198 feet). On the eastern flank of this range, and partially 
detached, is a lower hill, Murdoch Mountain. Beyond that the 
plateau appears to rise still higher in several rounded wooded 
summits, to be named for students of the future, and of which 
the highest should bear the name Historians Mountain. 
The fourth plateau. Chiefs Plateau, is the most striking and 
important of them all. It is bounded by the South Branch, the 
Upsalquitchian valley, and the head of the Northwest on the west, 
by the Nepisiguit on the north, by Emery’s Gulch and a line 
south to the Northwest on the east, and by the Northwest on the 
south. Two of its summits I had named earlier for Indian Chiefs 
prominent in early days in the Province, Halion and Wine- 
mowet;* hence I propose to name this the Chiefs Plateau, and 
its summits (excepting Mount Cartier, earlier named by me. 
Note 30), for other chiefs whose names deserve to be held in 
recollection. Its highest summit. Chiefs Mountain (2,195 feet), 
(readily recognized by the huge squarish granite boulder on its 
bare summit), is separated by a small valley from Halion and 
Winemowet, but to the southward it extends away as a distinct 
ridge, sloping very gradually in a series of progressively lower 
and more distinct summits, around the southernmost of which the 
Northwest swings to the northward. To the eastward the plateau 
is partially cut by two streams, branches of the Northwest, and 
shows several partially isolated bare mountains, of which the most 
important by far is Mount Cartier, which I shall later describe 
in connection with the Northwest. The Chiefs Plateau** is the 
barest and most attractive of all the plateaus, and upon its nearly 
level summit from Chiefs jMountain to Scudon (this latter sum- 
mit commanding a fine view up the South Branch above Paradise 
Pond), we measured our base line from which we triangulated 
the mountains of the vicinity. The granite ledges of this plateau 
* I have since discovered that the .^eijrniors Ridge described by me in an earlier not® 
(Note 30) is simply another view of Winemowet and others south of it. 
** I think this fine plateau could most readily be reached by leaving a canoe at the mouth 
of the South Branch, following the stream on foot to near the foot of Acquin Mountain and 
■climbing the latter to the plateau.
