it is nowhere cut across. As it swings around on the north of 
the basin its margin has almost the abruptness of an escarpment, 
and in the angle is it partially cut across by Patchel Brook, as I 
have described in an earlier note (No. 64). Farther east it rises 
abruptly into the greater height of Thunder Mountain, 2468 feet 
above the sea, and one of the conspicuous mountains of the pro- 
vince. It extends thence northeasterly seemingly as a partially- 
separated ridge, which rises northward into a still unnamed 
higher mountain, which must considerably exceed 2500 feet in 
elevation, which I propose should be called Wilkinson Mountain 
in honor of the well-known provincial geographer, John Wilkin- 
son.* Eastward of this, as seen from the southward, the country 
appears to fall off somewhat, but it undoubtedly continues east- 
ward as a plateau, approaching 2000 feet above the sea, until it 
meets the plateau country about the South Branch of Nepisiguit. 
as already described in these notes (No. 77). From the Thunder- 
Wilkinson group a very elevated country, including the high 
summits of Nalaisk, Edward, Winslow, Gordon, Head and Saga 
mook extends to Nictor Lake, forming, without question, the 
highest mass of land in the province. So much for the great 
central plateau which is continuous. But off to the southward 
are many fragments of it, detached by erosion. One of the most 
prominent and important of these lies south of Dunn (Logan) 
Lake, including two elevated, with some lower, summits. These 
are still unnamed but I would propose they be called the Loggie 
Mountains in honor of the present capable and courteous chief 
draughtsman of the Crown Land Office, the principal summits 
being known as the North and South Loggie Mountains. Off to 
the eastward of these lies a somewhat isolated mountain which 
might well be called Lockwood Mountain, from an early surveyor- 
general and cartographer of the province, Anthony Lockwood. 
* This summit is not visible from anywhere in the immediate vicinity, but it 
can be seen from several places at a distance. Thus I believe it is visible from 
the hills south of Mitchell Lake ; I have also recorded it, in my notes relating to 
the hills visible from Nalaisk Mountain on the Serpentine. But the best view 
of it by far is obtained from near the southern end of Holmes Lake, where 
Thunder and Wilkinson can both be seen with great clearness, Wilkinson rising 
markedly above the other. Its location on the map is only an approximation, 
but it is not, I think, far from its true position.
