"We camped here, an operation which consisted in " lighting a fire, putting up a few boughs for a break-wind, and eating " our supper of bread and dried moose meat. Starting at 7 a. M. Ou " the following morning, we reached a rocky hill immediately above the " south-west end of the lake at 9. 30. The trail wound round the flank " of it and descended t...owards the lake shore. As there was nothing to " be gained by following it further we diumounted, and, leaving our " horses on the trail, climbed to the summit, where an extensive view of " the surrounding country was obtained and a series of bearings taken. " The barometer reading was 26.. 59, indicating about 2. 000 feet above " Hudson's Hope, and only a little less elevated than Table ^lountain '' on Pine Eiver, which I think I recognised, bearing 97°. The strata " here are quite similar to those of Table Mountain— horizontal, thick- " bedded, reddish-brown and grey sandstones — but no fossils were seen " in them.
