EDMONTON COAL BEDS AND THE NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER. 



These two localities may be treated as one. The North Saskatchewan river enters the 

 Laramie area on the west about sixty miles north of the Red Deer river and one hundred miles 

 north of Cochrane. The flora from this locality is not very important, indeed the only infor- 

 mation available is derived from a small collection of plants obtained by Dr. Selwyn in 1874, 

 and determined by Sir "William Dawson, (15,51). Among them he recognized a species of 

 Taxes, one of Cupressoxylon and some other species of coniferous wood, but he did not 

 attempt their specific determination. He, however, concludes that they are all modern 

 species and probably Tertiary. 



GREAT BEAR RIVER, MACKENZIE RIVER BASIN, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES. 



Probably the earliest account of the Tertiary flora of Canada is that given by Sir John 

 Eichardson in 1851 (SO) in connexion with his search for Sir John Franklin. In his report 

 he gives several beautifully executed and accurate figures of plants, and among others a very 

 fine specimen of Taxodium oecidentale. All his specimens were obtained from the Mackenzie 

 basin within a limited exposure about the lower portion of the Great Bear river. This 

 locality is found in long. 125° — 126° west and just below the 65th parallel of latitude. It
