MIOCENE. 



The great majority of the supposedly Miocene localities of British Columbia have been 

 studied exhaustively by Sir William Dawson. Most of these have been restudied through 

 the medium of more recent collections, and some additions to the flora have been made. In 

 addition, several localities previously but little known, and others wholly new, have been 

 studied through the collections made by Dr. R. A. Daly in 1903-1905, and by Lambe in 

 1906. As all of these fall within the British Columbia area, and therefore within limits 

 supposed to be largely Miocene, they may be joined in one provisional list for detailed con- 

 sideration. The localities are as follows : — 



A. Similkameen Area, 



1. Kettle river. 



2. Similkameen river in general. 



3. Nine-mile creek. 



4. Whipsaw creek. 



5. Tulameen river (Worth Similkameen). 



B. Quesnel Area 



6. Coal gully. 



7. Quilchena. 



8. Quesnel. 



9. Coldwater river. 



10. Stump lake. 



11. Ilorsefly river. 



12. Cariboo. 



13. Blackwater river. 



C. Kam.looj)s Area 



14. Kamloops. 



15. Tranquille river. 



16. Finlay river. 



17. Omineca river. 



18. Coal brook. 



D. Peace River Area. 



E. Indian River. 



The entire Tertiary area of British Columbia is made up of a series of lakes, many of 

 them small, and often widely separated from the main formation which is very irregular in 

 outline. These areas lie within a region approximately 150 miles wide, and at least 1,250 

 miles long, commencing at the International Boundary. 



The localities most recently studied, and about which there was the most uncertain 

 knowledge, will receive consideration first. They are ;^
