1. Coal Gully. 



Coal gully, near Coutlee, is situated on the Nicola river eight miles west of KTicola 

 lake. It is in a sedimentary area with volcanic formation and near the juncbion of Cold- 

 water river with the Nicola. The former flows through volcanic Tertiary from the south, 

 for more than twenty-four miles. In the winter of 1904 Penhallow determined a small col- 

 lection of plants from this locality, derived from the work of Ells and Johnston during the 

 previous summer. There were found — 



1. Ficus sp. 



2. JJlnms sp. 



3. Taxodium distichum miooenum, Heer. 



The very limited representation and the imperfect character of the material, which pre- 

 vented recognition of anything except the very well characterized Taxodium, made it impos- 

 sible to draw any conclusions of value as to the probable age of the formation. More recent 

 collections by Lambe during the summer of 1906 have enabled us to gain a better 

 conception of the character of this flora from which it will now be possible to derive infer- 

 ences of value. This collection includes : — 



1. Phragmites sp. 



3. Populus acerifolia, Newb. 



3. polymorpha, Newb. 



4. Sequoia langsdorfii, (Brongn) Heer. 



5. Taxodium distichum, miocenum, Heer. 



6. Thuya mterrupta, Newb. 



7. Typha latissima ? Al. Br. 



8. Ulmus speciosa, Newb. 



9. Fragments of unrecognizable stems. 



2. Quilchena. 



Quilchena on the Nicola river represents essentially the same locality as the last. The 

 first collection from this locality was made by Ells and Johnston in 1904 but particulars 

 have not as yet been published. It was nevertheless a fairly large and representative collec- 

 tion, and is of great value for stratigraphical purposes. In it there were found — 



1. Alniies curta, Dn. 



2. Beiula angustifolia, Newb. 



3. heterodonta, Newb. 



4. Carpinus grandis, Ung. 



5. Carya antiquorum, Newb. 



6. Cornus newberryi, HoUick. 



7. Gingko digitata, (Brongn^ Heer. 



8. Picea quilchenensis, n. sp. 



9. Pinus irunculus, Dn. 



10. Populus ohtrita, Dn. 



11. polymorpha, Newb.
