(2) Cree ( Mamawi ) Creek, Lat. 58 29', Long. Ill 30'. 
Cree creek, called Mamawi creek on very recent maps, is an abandoned 
channel in the western part of the Athabaska delta. It is about 14 miles 
long and has no appreciable current. It has long been used as a short route 
between Chipewyan and Athabaska river. 
(3) Lovjer Delta of Athabaska River, Lat. 58 36' 30", Long. 1 1 1 c 5' 30". 
A mud, sand, and driftwood deposit near the lakeward end of Embar- 
ras river, in Athabaska delta. 
(4) East Shore of Lake Mamawi , Lat. 58° 35', Long. 111° 22'. 
A delta lowland area composed of mud flats, marshes, and low granite 
knolls. A few willow clumps grow on the higher bars. The presence of 
the granite hills, with occasional small clay deposits on them, leads to a 
mixture of the sub-arctic flora that prevails to the eastward, with a few 
plants peculiar to the dry prairies. 
(5) Hay ( Prairie ) River, Lat. 58° 37', Long. 111° 44'. 
A short, sluggish stream which consists of several channels, and carries 
the w T atcr from lake Claire to lake Mamawi through an expanse of delta 
lowland. 
(6) Along Quatre Fourches River, Lat. 58° 40', Long. Ill 0 20'; and Lat. 
58° 22', Long. 111° 35'. 
The Quatre Fourches is a short stream flowing between Peace river and 
lakes Athabaska and Mamawi. Near the Peace its banks are well wooded, 
but near the lakes it flows through low delta flats. There are several granite 
hills along its banks which introduce a somewhat more boreal element to 
the local flora. Most of the collections are from two localities, one near the 
forks, just above lake Athabaska, and the other near Peace river. A few 
are from the delta deposit in lake Athabaska. As noted elsewhere, the 
Quatre Fourches, at times when the Peace is low, reverses its current and 
flows away from the lake. 
(7) 80th Base Line District, Slave River, Lat. 59° T, Long. 111° 27'. 
Collections here are from the vicinity of the point at which the 30th 
base line crosses Slave river. Part of the material is from a large island 
flood-plain, and part from the bank of the river itself or from abandoned 
channel sloughs nearby. 
(8) Murdock Creek District, Lat. 59° 14', Long. Ill 0 34'. 
Murdock creek flows with a sluggish current through a very crooked 
channel more or less parallel to Slave river, into which it finally empties. 
Most of the collections are from sloughs near it. 
(9) Government Hay Camp District, Slave River, Lat. 59° 31', Long. 
111° 28'. 
This area is along Slave river about 27 miles above Fitzgerald. Collec- 
tions are from the neighbouring hay meadow sloughs, from adjacent uplands 
just north and west of the camp, from occasional granite knolls, and from 
the river bank itself.
