Crescent Peaks.--Northwest of Bermuda a crescent-shaped line of conical peaks borders the Bermuda Apron. Individual peaks are 600 fathoms high and 4 to 6 miles wide at their base. This range of peaks forms a distinct sub-province which rises from the Bermuda Plateau. Bermuda Scarp Zone.--The Bermuda Plateau is broken along its eastern margin by a series of scarps (Pl. 17). There appear to be two systems of scarps, one trending about N. 55° W. and the other about N. 35° E. Individual scarps range from 100 to 700 fathoms in height. The intersecting set of lines shown on the province chart (Pl. 20) indicates prominent scarps in this area. Dashed lines represent more speculative scarps. A further study of this interesting area is underway, and it is hoped that a more-detailed mapping of these scarps will be possible. Needless to say, dredging on these scarps should bring rich rewards in fossil sediments and igneous rocks which are undoubtedly exposed on these precipitous cliffs. The general character of the scarp zone is illustrated in Plate 17 by an echogram. There seem to be three or four major ne-sw scarps. In the east-central Bermuda Rise the areas between the scarp zones remain at virtually the same depth as the unfractured Bermuda Rise farther west. However, toward the southeast the inter-scarp areas drop as a series of steps. The depth along the base of each scarp is nevertheless deeper than the next lower step. The smaller topographic features of the southeast part of the scarp zone are very similar to the abyssal hills to the southeast and are thus probably of the same origin. The strips between successive scarps tend to shallow to the southeast and reach minimum depths just before the next scarp is reached.
