spent one night out, being unable to make the hotel before the darkness fell. (See Wheeler's "Selkirk Range.")
Mt. Bonney is a very striking peak. On the north face it presents a bold precipitous rock-escarpment, often clad with ice; on the south side it is a snow-white mountain with a wide area of névé covering its entire surface. A third route: On this side it can readily be ascended from the valley of the Inconiappleux River (Fish Creek), but it is a very round-about route.
Time required: Miss Tuzo and her guide made the round ascent in 19 hours by the first route. The second route may involve a night out, as above.
Bonney Glacier—Name: In relation to Mt. Bonnev.
Altitude: 5,000—8,000 feet.
Location: On the north side below the great rock-escarpment of Mt. Bonney. It is very much broken and crevassed, with numerous groups of fine sêracs. It is the main source of Loop Brook, flowing into the Illecillewaet River at the famous C.P.R. loop of the railway in the Selkirks. It is a very pronounced form of the Piedmont type of glacier, being fed entirely by the snow falling on its surface and by ice avalanches from the cliffs of the cirque or amphitheatre surrounding it.
Bruin's Pass—Name: By Topographical Survey, in relation to Bear Creek.
Altitude: 8,150 feet.
Location: A pass in the Hermit Range at the extreme head of Bear Creek between Mts. Ursus !Major and Ursus Elinor and leads to a glacier on the north-east slopes of Mt. Ursus Major, which drains into one of the large southern tributaries of Mountain Creek.
The Camels—Name: By Miss M. Vaux. Peculiarly shaped rocks on the summit of Mt. Tupper resembling, when seen from Mt. Abbott, a string of loaded camels with their drivers beside them
Caribou Creek—Name: Local, from the deer of that species which once frequented the valley.
Location: A tributary of the Illecillewaet from the north-west, joining the river 10 miles west of Glacier House. The valley of Caribou Creek, the valley of Downie Creek still further north-west, and the valleys of Flat Creek and Incomappleux River south of the railway, together form one of the great lateral troughs traversing the Selkirk Range parallel to its axis.
Cascade Summer House—Altitude: 5,252 feet (above Glacier House, 1,200 feet). Built by the C. P. Railway Company at the point where the Cascade, directly opposite Glacier House, breaks over the edge of the Mt. Avalanche amphitheatre.
Route: A good pony trail leaves the railway track at a sign-post 200 yards from the hotel and zigzags through a beautiful climbing forest up the mountain side. About 700 feet up there is one of the best views in the region of the Illecillewaet Glacier, where you are looking on its front. About three-quarters of an hour from the railway track the trail divides, the lower fork leading to the basin, some 400 feet higher, the fine meadow with streams and already described as rich in alpine flora.
Views: The Summer House commands magnificent views of this
