Figure 7 pictures Bow Lake as seen from the eastern slope of 

 !Mount Thomson. This view over the lake from the north shows the 

 ridges on the right formed of Middle Cambrian limestones, while far 

 away in the distance the snow-clad summit of Mount Hector is 

 btiried in the clouds. In figure 8 is shown a nearer view of ]\ fount 

 Molar, a beautiful example of horizontally bedded limestones, illtis- 

 trating the manner in which the hard, evenly bedded limestones 

 erode into domes and broad cvlindrical masses.

There was fine trout-fishing at the lower end of Bow Lake, and we 

 met with both deer and grizzly bear in the somewhat open valley 

 at the head of the lake ( fig. 9).
