AVet cliiFs on the east branch of Fish creek. Discovered many years ago, by 

 Knieskern and Vasey. at its lowest station between the Railroad and Taberg, 

 on an upright rocky side, wet by a brook pouring over into the creek; in 

 ■company with Primula, jidstassinica . Here, however, there are only a ftw 

 plants, on the space of a few sciuare feet, wanderers from the multitude 

 above. The creek comes from the north for man}' miles through a deep ravine, 

 and, flowing from one side to the other, causes upright rocky precipices, 

 which vary in height from fifty to one hundred and twenty -five, and in length 

 from one hundred to one thousand feet. The woods still remain above, so 

 that these precipices are always wet with dripping water. On these €old wet

 visible at a distance, may be found in June. Local.
