This tree is found on all parts of Vancouver Island, with the excep- 

 tion of the exposed western coast, but does not occur on the Queen 

 Charlotte Islands or coast archipelago to the north of Vancouver. On 

 the mainland, near the 49th parallel, it extends from the coast to the 

 Rocky Mountains, growing at a height of 6,000 feet in a stunted form. 

 It occurs on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains on the 49th 

 parallel, and is abundant in the foot-hills further north, and on the 

 Porcupine Hills. On the Bow River, it extends east to the vicinity of 

 Calgary. In the dry southern jjortion of the interior of British Columbia 

 it is generally confined to the higher uplands between the various 

 river valleys, northward it descends to the general level of the country.
