Geological Magazine

In an article published in the Geological Magazine for August, 1888, an outline was presented of some facts resulting from recent investigations on the glaciation of British Columbia and adjacent regions, bearing more particularly on the flow of ice in a northerly direction brought to light by explorations in the Yukon district, but touching also on the south-eastern extension of the great western glacier-mass of the continent, which I have proposed to name the Cordilleran glacier. Field-work carried out by me during the summer of 1888 has resulted in the accumulation of many new facts relating to the southern part of the area, which was at one time covered by the Cordilleran glacier, from which it would appear that it may ultimately be possible not only to trace the various stages in the recession of the main front of the great confluent glacier beneath which the interior or plateau region of British Columbia was buried, but even to follow the later stages of its decline as it became broken up into numerous local glaciers confined to the valleys of the several mountain ranges which limit the plateau.

South Shore

Sediments bordering Burrard Inlet in Greater Vancouver are described as the Lions Gate Member of the Burrard Formation. This new member, comprising the lowest part of the previously defined Burrard Formation, rests nonconformably upon deeply weathered granitic rocks of the Coast Plutonic belt, and dips southwards into the Whatcom Basin. Four sedimentary units are recognizable, comprising a basal unit of conglomerate with minor sandstone lenticles; a sandstone–siltstone unit; a shale unit; and an upper coarse arkose. The upper contact with overlying sandstone and shales of Tertiary age occurs on the south shore of Burrard Inlet. Palynomorphs from both surface and borehole samples are of Late Cretaceous (Campanian) age, suggesting correlation of the Lions Gate Member with the Extension-Protection Formation of eastern Vancouver Island.

Sand And Gravel

I am indebted to the Rev. Robert Connell for some very interesting Coleopterous remains in black lignite from the south end of Cordova Bay, Victoria. The deposit is overlain by about 180 feet of clay, sand, and gravel, the Cordova sands and gravels and Maywood clays constituting the Puyallup interglacial deposits, with Vashon drift above. Of the Puyallup deposits the Maywood clays are the older, and in them is the lignite bed with marine shells in the overlying clay and finely stratified whitish clay underlying it. The lignite contains pieces of wood, seeds, and other plant remains.

Two Populations

Evidence is presented that the western Plantago elongata Pursh and P. bigelovii Gray are distinct taxa, each with two populations recognized by the author as subspecies. Plantago elongata ssp. elongata, 2n = 12, is found from Manitoba to British Columbia and southward to Texas and California and ssp. pentasperma Bassett, 2n = 12 and 36, occurs west of the Coast, Cascade Mountains, and Sierra Nevada from British Columbia to California. Plantago bigelovii ssp. bigelovii, 2n = 20, is mainly a plant of the western coastline from British Columbia to California while ssp. californica (Greene) Bassett comb, nov., 2n = 20, is native only to California, Arizona, and Mexico. Plantago heterophylla Nutt., 2n = 12, is widely scattered in the south eastern portion of the United States from Texas to the eastern coastline, while Plantago pusilla Nutt., 2n = 12, occurs mainly in the central eastern states.
