Xiphinema bakeri n. sp. is described from soil associated with the roots of raspberry and strawberry plants. The specimens were collected near Hatzic, in the South Fraser River Valley, British Columbia. This species most closely resembles X. index Thorne and Allen, 1950, but is distinguished from the latter by its greater length, longer spear, more anteriorly placed vulva, and the presence in the female of only two pairs of caudal pores.

The Way

Semi-Subterranean houses with an entrance through the roof are a well known feature of the interior of British Columbia, having been described for the Thompson, the Chilcotin, the Shuswap and others of the upper Fraser River valley. They have, in fact, an even wider distribution east of the Coast and Cascade Ranges, extending south over the Plateau and into northern California. Although this type of dwelling existed among the Aleuts, it appears that the coastal people to the south of them, even in Alaska, were either unfamiliar with the pattern or rejected it in favor of others. Sporadically, along the Pacific Coast all the way from California to Bering Sea, house floors were excavated to varying depths, sometimes even to two levels; but, everywhere, the houses characteristically lack the roof entrance and, except for sweathouses in the south and Bering Sea Eskimo dwellings in the north, even the idea of an earth covering is absent. In view of this fundamental divergence, it is interesting that subterranean structures do appear in several places on the coast of British Columbia.

This species has apparently been introduced in recent years and become established as a pest of the common native alder (Alnus rubra) on the west coast of Washington and British Columbia, particularly in the lower part of the Fraser River Valley. The earliest specimens I have at hand are a series of 15 females taken at White Rock, B. C., June 28, 1929, collected by Mr. G. Beall.

Multiple Lives

This paper explores the biography of a wagon road located in the First Nations (indigenous) territory of the Stl'atl'imx of the lower Lillooet River Valley in southern British Columbia, Canada. While the road is best known as a route to the Fraser Canyon during the Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858, here I investigate its multiple lives. Adopting themes from symmetrical archaeology, I show that the wagon road was not a passive outcome of colonial action but instead shifted in form and meaning as it interacted with the human and non-human world. I draw on archival documents from the Royal Engineers and oral accounts from the Stl'atl'imx of the lower Lillooet River Valley to illustrate how people, places and things were woven into the landscape through bodily engagement with the road. This paper thus highlights the complexity of the colonial encounter and the importance of movement and the materiality of movement (roads) in understanding the diversity of interaction in tensioned landscapes.

The Cariboo region comprises that section of Central British Columbia between the Fraser river and the mountains of the N. Thompson river, extending northward from Clinton to Quesnel; through it the old Cariboo trail (now a motor road) passes and railway communication with the south is afforded by the P. G. & E. Ry. Its altitude is around 2500 ft. and it consists largely of rolling, wooded country interspersed with numerous lakes; in the southwest in the vicinity of Jesmond, Mt. Bowman, a northern spur of the mountains back of Lillooet, rises to a height of about 7500 ft. The summer rainfall is slight, and the area belongs in the so-called “dry belt”.

East End

In the early summer of 1926 I spent nearly two months in the vicinity of Lillooet, B. C., a typical “dry-belt” locality, studying the insect fauna of this region. My headquarters were at Craig Lodge, at the east end of Seton Lake, a large body of water about three miles west of Lillooet draining into the Fraser River through Seton Lake Creek, which is joined about a mile to the east by the larger Cayoosh Creek, entering from the south through the deep and precipitous Cayoosh Canyon. The general nature of the country has already been ably indicated by Mr. R. Glendenning in a paper on the Fauna and Flora of Mt. McLean which appeared in the Proceedings of the British Columbia Entomological Society for 1921.

The silver-spotted tiger moth, Halisidota argentata Pack., is a potentially dangerous defoliator of Douglas fir in British Columbia. Natural control factors have always prevented populations from building up to destructive proportions.The literature contains little information on this insect. Fletcher recorded the first outbreak of what was probably H. argentata in British Columbia in 1887 (2). Moths were identified as H. sobrina Stretch, but this form is now recorded only from California so it was probably H. argentata. The outbreak, probably on southern Vancouver Island, was reported as “committing great depredations on the spruces here.” Mathers found H. argentata at Chilliwack in the Fraser River Valley in 1934, but there was no report of an outbreak (4). A few larvae were collected on southern Vancouver Island from 1936 to 1952. In 1953 a considerable number of colonies were observed, and the following year the silver-spotted tiger moth was in infestation proportions. In 1955 the outbreak increased in intensity, and spread northward to the limit of its known range. A survey in the spring of 1956 failed to find a single colony south of Lantzville, and the population in the northern portion of the range was greatly reduced.
