Red Beds (Permian) prairie that stretches, except where in- 
teirnpted l)y the drainage coijrses, far northward into Kansas. 
There are some Hmestone hills on the south side.^' South of 
these the country slopes to Red river, which is some thirty 
miles away. 
TJie Axis. 
Consists of a large number of isolated peaks or groups of 
ixaks, that are separated by very level grass-covered meadows, 
scattered over which are solitary mesquite trees. These 
meadows are usually several miles across. When I saw them 
the grass was dead and dried up, and they are so level that the 
peaks seemed to be islands, rising with jagged, precipitous 
sides, above a straw colored ocean. The separate peaks or 
groups of peaks have all received names. Mr. Comstock in 
Ins report published by the Texas geological survey and al- 
ready quoted, has given a sketch map showing the approxi- 
mate location of many of the mountains, and has proposed 
names for others. 
The following Iccations of the more important mountains were fur- 
nished by Mr. A. E. Williams, a surveyor from Oakdale, Oklahoma.
