[Sidenote: Elevated terraces and beaches.] Reference was made in my report of last year (p. 14 and 37 DD) to the steep, serrated and non-glaciated appearance of the mountains, along the northern part of the Labrador coast. Opportunities were afforded me in 1884, while passing up and down the coast in the “Neptune,” and when ashore at a few points, of studying, sketching and photographing these mountains; and again, last year, their features were well brought out under the varying quantities of snow upon them in the months of June, July, August and October. The accompanying view, from a photograph, looking northward, across the entrance of Nachvak Inlet, is characteristic of the scenery on this part of the coast. As stated in last year’s report, glacial grooves are to be seen in this inlet near the sea-level and parallel to the general course of the shores, but no trace of them could be observed on any of the higher levels which were examined. Terraces or banks of gravel and ancient shingle beaches were observed on either side of the inlet at various heights up to an estimated elevation of 2000 feet. The mountains everywhere in this vicinity give evidence of long-continued atmospheric decay. The annual precipitation at the present time is not great, otherwise small glaciers would probably form among these mountains, which lie between latitudes 58° and 60°, and which overlook a sea, bearing field-ice for half the year, and from which bergs are never absent. Patches of snow, however, remain throughout the summer in shaded parts of the slopes and on the highest summits, which range from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above the ocean. [Sidenote: Cape Chudleigh.] Our stay at Port Burwell, Cape Chudleigh, on the inward voyage, was for only one night, and while we were in this port, on our return, the weather was so boisterous as to prevent me from going to any considerable distance from the ship. Some additional facts of interest were, however, noted in regard to the glacial phenomena of the neighborhood.
