12 m. South Westminster — Exposures of fine 



19 km. grained Eocene sand- 



16-5 m. Kennedy — stone showing cross 



26-5 km. bedding are seen in the 



22 m. Sullivan — railway cuts at South 



35-4 km. Westminster. Beyond 



this the line gradually ascends the slope of 



Strawberry hill, until at Kennedy it reaches an 



altitude of about 300 feet (91 m.), above the 



sea. 



Strawberry hill, like Mount Lehman farther 

 east, is a flat topped plateau covered by uncon- 

 solidated sands and gravels representing delta 

 deposits laid down at the close of the Glacial 

 period. They are erosion remnants of the old 

 delta which have not been removed by the 

 post-Glacial deepening of Fraser river. 

 25-5 m. Cloverdale — Descending the eastern slope 



41 km. of Strawberry hill, the line crosses 

 29 m. Langley — Serpentine river and enters a low 

 46-6 km. level country which extends along 

 32 m. Milner — the route of the excursion as far 

 51-5 km. as Jardine. This level country 

 32-5 m. Jardine — is only a few feet above sea level 

 52-3 km. and is part of the delta built up 



by Fraser river in modern times when that 



stream emptied into Mud bay. 



Cloverdale, Langley and other places on this 



part of the route are the centres of much good 



agricultural country. 

 35 m. Sperling — At Jardine the line begins to 



56-3 km. rise again to the top of another 



37 m. Coghlan — of those low plateaus built of 



59-5 km. sands, gravel and glacial ma- 



42 m. Bradner — terial deposited in the delta of 

 66 km. the Glacial period. This pla- 

 44 m. Mt. Lehman — teau is known as Mount Leh- 

 70-8 km. man and has an elevation of 



about 300 feet (91 m.) above the sea. It 

 is heavily wooded and traversed by a number 

 of sharp deep valleys. Sections of the deposits 

 of which it is built can be seen in a number of 

 places along the line of travel.
