5 April 1916. The 'big quick' two miles
west of the schooner originated in
the corrosion and erosion of a mas-
sive dike of diabase (?) which cuts the
pink gneiss vertically and trends
essentially N.-S. The dike is about
125 feet wide as exposed in the bay
shore cliffs - Specs. 651 + 652 (duple)
were taken about 2.5 feet from western
contact. The basic dike is crossed at
right angles by 4"-12" dike of light
grey rock containing much biotite
Specs. 653, 654 (duple) + 655 (choris,
contact with the diabase.
5 April. Spec. 656. Retino skull - gift of H.C. Pickets.
15 April 1916. Heights of Cairn Mt.,
being the peak on which Mr. Eckelart
and Captain Pickels built a cairn of
rocks on or about 12 Feb-1916. It is
the highest point within sight from the

('Chett', earlier 'Cones' glacier) and between
it and the double-ended glacier
('Cones', earlier 'Chett' glacier) on the south.
