oarse mica slate. No minerals of muchvalue or rarity have been found here, and no evidencesof volcanic action have been discovered. It is altogetherprobable that the mountains have for ages exhibited thesame unvarying appearance. The sides of the mountains, as well as most of the sur-rounding country, are thickly covered with trees, which inautumn present a most beautifully variegated appearance.The summits of the higher elevations are destitute of vege-tation, excepting a few mosses and plants of alpine spe-cies.

The height of several of the othersummits is estimated as follows : Mount Adams, 5759 feet;Mount Jefferson, 5657 ; Mount Madison, 5415 ; MountMonroe, 5349 ; Mount Franklin, 4850; Mount Pleasant,4715. Of these Mount Washington is easily known by its su-perior elevation, and by its being the southern of the threehighest summits. Mount Adams is known by its sharp ter-minating peak, and by its being the se
