Georgetown and the Carih Coiinfnj, St. Vincent, as seen from the TVindward Itoad, north of Blade Point, one mile 
south of Georgetown. 
On the roadside the old tuffs and agglomerates are exposed. Georgeto^vn stands on a sloping plain, 
which extends for several miles on the east side of Morne Gam and the Soufriere. In the background a 
spur of the Soufriere is seen, running down towards Overland Village, and behind Georgetown the land 
rises in a series of steejr, rounded bluffs. It will be seen that on the cliffs and the beach south of 
Georgetown the trees were not destroyed b}^ the eruption.

Chateaubelair from the North. 
The ^'iew is taken from the ridge which separates the village from Eichmond Vallejn Sharp spurs are 
seen rnnning down to the coast, where they form rockj^ headlands. Traces of old terraces are furnished 
by the flattening of the profiles just above the cliffs. This country was covered with ashes, but the 
vegetation rapidly recovered, and in the month of June, 1902, flourished as Hgorously as before. The 
fields behind Chateaubelair are mostly planted with arrovToot.
