Vancouver meta-volcanics, foliated flow-breccia. Roches 

 moutonnees, grooving, and crossed striations. 



Locality 5 — Between 4 and 5 pre-Glacial lowland of 

 Maywood clays with thin mantle of Vashon drift and 

 numerous outcrops of Vancouver meta-andesites. 

 Foliated, contact metamorphosed Vancouver volcanics, 

 cut by a great number of quartz-feldspar masses and 

 irregular apophyses of quartz-diorite. 



Locality 6. — Contact complex of Vancouver meta-an- 

 desites and Wark and Colquitz gneisses. Hybridism and 

 primary gneisses. 



Locality 7 — Between 6 and 7 pre-Glacial lowland with 

 small glaciated monadnocks and ledges chiefly of Wark 

 gabbro-diorite gneiss. 



Road-cut in drift, showing relations of Admiralty till, 

 Maywood clays, and Vashon till. 



Excursion C 1 (Second Day). 



From the Empress hotel the route of the excursion lies 

 north and west of Victoria to a number of points of geolo- 

 gical interest. 



Locality 8 — Vashon drift, unconformably overlying 

 Cordova sands and gravels, which overlie Maywood clays. 

 Latter not exposed here. Sand and gravel pits, from which 

 material is obtained for mortar, concrete, filling, etc. 



Locality 9 — Between 8 and 9, pre-Glacial lowland 

 largely covered by Maywood clays, few outcrops of Wark 

 and Colquitz gneisses. 



Mt. Tolmie, altitude 383 feet (95 m.), a monadnock 

 of Wark gabbro-diorite gneiss, protected the Cordova 

 sands and gravels from erosion during Vashon glaciation. 

 Section of drift and Cordova sands and gravels. Sand 

 and gravel bank. 



Locality 10 — Between 9 and 10 pre-Glacial lowland 

 with numerous small monadnocks and large ledges, chiefly 

 of Wark gneiss. 



View of wooded "train" of Cordova sands and gravels 

 in lea of large monadnock, Mt. Douglas or Cedar hill, 

 altitude 725 feet (220 m.). 



Locality 11 — From 10 along wooded "train" of Cordova 

 sands and gravels to top of Mt. Douglas. 



Wark gabbro-diorite gneiss, cut by aplite veins. General 

 view of pre-Glacial lowland, uplifted Tretiary peneplain —
