3. Similkameen River, 



On the Similkameen river, two important localities are recognized, "Whipsaw 

 creek and Mne-mile creek. The former enters the Similkameen basin at its southwest 

 corner and joins the Similkameen a short distance above Vermilion Forks, after 

 traversing about five miles of the Tertiary area. Nine-mile creek enters the Whipsaw from 

 the west, about one mile and one-half above the junction of the latter with the Similk- 

 ameen, and about ten miles south of Vermilion Forks. Dawson observes (8,180 B) that most 

 of the beds of the Similkameen are too soft for the preservation of plant remains, but 

 one layer of hardened, siliceous matter contains many perfectly preserved specimens. At 

 Nine-mile creek, from which most of the specimens have been obtained, there is a small 

 section of hard, laminated clays between layers of soft arenaceous clays. There are some 

 remains of insects to be found here, and many plants. 



The only knowledge of the flora of this locality is derived from the list of plants pub- 

 lished by Sir William Dawson in connexion with Dr. G. M. Dawson's report on an explor-
