fragments of cones, were brought together from a number of localities. From the Tulameen 

 there was a scale ; from the Tranquille river there was an impression which was inter- 

 preted as representing the end view of a cone, but the material had been so crushed out 

 of shape as to lead to nothing very definite ; from Quilchena there were obtained seed-like 

 bodies which appeared to be those of a pine devoid ot the wings ; and a number of similar 

 seed were obtained from the Horsefly' river. As well defined remains of pines, of recog- 

 nizable species, occur in the eame deposits, these bodies undoubtedly belong to them, but 

 the precise specific correlation cannot be ascertained. 



Finns columbiana, Penh.

Wood and cones of Pinus columbiana were obtained from the Kettle river in 1905, by 

 Dr. R. A. Daly. There is no other record of the species. 



Finns lardy ana, Heer. 

 Bib : Fl. Tert. Helv. Ill, 161, pi. OXLVI, f. 2. 



Two fragments of cones from Quilchena, in the collections of 1906, represent a species of 

 pine which cannot be fully identified because the elements of size and shape are wanting, 

 but a careful comparison of Heer's Finns lardyana shows what may be regarded as an exact 

 correspondence with respect to the size, shape and configuration of the scales. This corres- 

 pondence is to be observed with respect to the figures given in volume III, plate CXLVI, 

 figure 2 of the Tertiary flora of Helvetia, but it does not apply to figure 3, nor to the cone 

 depicted- in volume I, plate XX, figure 5, both of which appear to me to be wholly distinct.

In the Quilchena collection of 1906 there were several more or less perfect coniferous 

 scales (figs. 20-21) which werefound to be identical with Heer's P. steenstrwpiana from the
