Stratigraphic knowledge of the Tertiary of western Canada and of 
the states to the south has increased so greatly in recent years that a 
reconsideration of the numerous and scattered localities where Tertiary 
plants have been reported is needed. This the writer has attempted to 
do here for collections made by Uglow and Johnston of the Geological 
Survey, in 1921 and 1922 1 . Of the four principal localities from which 
I have studied collections three are new. These are Newhykulston and 
Joseph creeks in the Chu Chua area on North Thompson river, and 
Kitsilano, near V ancouver. The fourth, Burrard inlet, also near Vancouver, 
was discussed by the late Sir William Dawson 2 in 1895, who identified 
the following species from this outcrop, and correlated it with the deposits 
of Washington known as the Puget group: 
Lastrea (Goniopteris ) fisckeri Heer 
Neuropteris civica Dawson 
Lygodium neuropteroides Lesquereux 
Asplenites sp. 
Glyptostrobus europaeus (Brongniart) Heer 
Sabal campbellii (Newberry) Lesquereux 
Manicaria sp. 
Cyperites paudnervis Heer 
Corea: vancouverensis Dawson 
Carex burrardiana Dawson 
Populus balsaminoides Goeppert 
Populus rotundifolia Newberry 
Salix variant Goeppert 
Salix integra Goeppert 
DryophyUum stanUyanum Dawson 
Quercus dentoni Lesquereux 
Platanus sp. 
Juglans denticulata Heer 
AesculophyUum hastingsense Dawson 
Ficus skastensis Lesquereux (?) 
Ficus ocddentalis Lesquereux (?) 
Planera crenata Newberry 
The plants contained in the Johnston collection from Burrard inlet 
are given in the table of distribution in this paper. There can be no question 
of the Eocene age of these plants, or their correlation with the Puget 
Group flora of Washington, although a description of the latter has never 
been published. There are only 17 species listed from the Puget group 
in Knowlton's “Catalogue of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Plants of North 
America” (1919), although this author states 3 that he has described in
