4. The name " Robson " has be^n used for six distinct features : 

 Robson Peak, Mihon and Cheadle, 1865. 



Robson Cirque, Wheeler, 1912. 



Robson Pass, Coleman, 1908. 



Robson Glacier, Wheeler, 1912, = Main Glacier, Coleman, 1908,, 



= Great Glacier, Collie, 1912. 

 Lake Robson, Collie, 1912, p. 226. 

 Robson Park, Government of British Columbia, 1913. 

 Thinking that the name " Robson " is somewhat over-applied I 

 have suggested the Indian name " Hunga " (= chief) for the great 

 glacier. 



5. " Robson Peak "' is the name given by Milton and Cheadle, 

 1865, and used by McEvoy on his map of 1900. There does not 

 appear to be any good reason for changing it to " Mount Robson,"' 

 as it is the highest " Peak " in the Canadian Rockies. 



6. The name " Moose River " should be extended up the main 

 river to its head below Moose Pass, as the so-called " West Branch "^ 

 is quite a distinct stream and should bear a distinct name. 



7. Hihuna ^ (owl) River drains the southeast side of the Robson 

 Peak area. It is a large stream and its valley is one of the most 

 beautiful features of the Robson District. At its upper end Resplen- 

 dent Valley is very attractive. In the future the broad flat slopes of 

 the Hihuna will be a favorite camping place when made accessible 

 by a well-graded road. Hihuna River is the west branch of Moose 

 River as given on the Wheeler map. 



8. " Mount Toot-toot," north of Yellowhead Pass, I am calling 

 McEvoy Mountain after J. McEvoy, who first made a map of this 

 area. The mountain furnishes a fine illustration of the Cambrian 

 rocks overlying the pre-Cambrian of the Yellowhead Pass. 



New names.— A number of names are here given to certain 

 mountains and points that are indicated on the photographs. They 

 are mostly derived from the language of the Assiniboine Indians. 

 Of these names, the following have received the approval of the 

 Geographic Board of Canada : 



lyatunga^ (black rock) for the mountain southwest of Plunga 

 Glacier (pi. 58, fig. i). 



Titkdna (bird) for the peak on the northeast side of Hunga 

 Glacier (pi. 58, fig. i). 



Chetdng (hawk) for the line of cliffs above and southwest of 

 Coleman Glacier (pi. 56, fig. 2). 



^ The accent mark is used here merely to indicate the syllable to be accented.
