The original description of this wood was basetl upon material from the Cretaceous 

 deposits of the South Saskatchewan, near Medicine Hat, Saskatchewan, in 1904. Since then 

 it has been recognized in the Kettle Eiver deposits of British Columbia, from which it was 

 obtained by Dr. R, A. Daly in 1905, 



Cyperites sp. 



This widely distributed and very common type of stems and leaves offers little or 

 nothing of value in the determination of stratigrapliieal relations, or in tlie solution of biologi 

 cal problems, since its relegation to the genus Cijperus is based on a very broad resend:)]ance 

 to the externa] aspect of the leaves and stems of those plants. It will be sufficient to point 

 out that such remains are common to almost all Tertiary collections, and in the present 

 instance they are found in material from tlie Tulameen, the Horsefly, the Similkameen, the 

 Tranquille and the Kettle rivers, as well as from Quilchena. In fact they may be regarded 

 as features of the entire Tertiary flora of British Columbia and the western porlions of 

 Canada.
