Bordering these wore mul rings made up of a Mesa of Alkah plants largely of the species Sah Portiin Herbacek. Those Peculiar plants exist and Hourish in a soil impregnated with Saline Sutt Arices. In the struggle fore ii Tenco Thoy have survived where other of Inifi of Plant life have ceased to exist and now hold a monopoly in Tho so called Salty districts. The presence of those comparatively Day areas m not a matter of Surprise when to remember All soils contain a certain amount of soluble salts. In our Western districts these Are Ciu god into Ponds which have no outlet. A evaporation goes Oil tie Waters become mow and More Milino until Thoy Are so strongly impregnated that when the Ponds dry no an alkaline encrustation is left. If Tho rain fall was greater in and time the River current shifted to the Side the Waters of the Valley became 11101-0 or Leas Calm and Silty material waylaid Down until the whole Valley became enriched with the Deposit. The River seems then to have deepened its Channel the sides until All Tho water flowed through it and the former River Bottom was left High Anil dry. On such an alluvial Deposit Rich herbage would Natur ally grow and As Yeara rolled on the vegetation of the Valley assume its pres ent luxuriant condition. The conclusion seems to be borne out by Tho comparatively thin layer of Rich dark soil and thu bed of coarse Giu vol below it now River nor Osuzik about five Miles beyond Calgary an exposure of Sandstone Rock appears on the right Bank of the Bow River and con Tinus for some distance farther West it least for two Miles the distance 1 examined. At this Point i turned and 1m gain the work of investigation knowing that Long Ere my stops were retraced for two Miles uni client fossils would be obtained to tent Lily carrying capacity. On very Side the fragments of Ruck which had been left As Tho graders completed their work contained excellent Imrei Siona of Fossil loaves of Many varieties Tho Bank is about 200 feet High and largely made up of layers of Grey Sand Stona much of which is exceedingly Fossiliferous. At this place i saw no other fossils but the remains of leaves. The Rock was of such a soft nature that com plete forms were diff Houlb to obtain and it was Only by taking a huge fragment that a Good specimen could be secured. As the broken Rock was used to protect the Bank from the action of the Swift cur rent of the River Thore was no difficulty in finding excellent pieces for Examina Tion. I examined fragment after frag ment and endeavoured to Chip Oft the superfluous Stone so As to obtain a will Deli id Leaf but in vain and e found that tha Only Way to secure such to submit to the work of carrying Good aimed specimens. Hut remembering that the escarpment Fai Lioi Oast showed a harder Rock t refrained making much of a collection from this locality and did not feel downcast when i saw Many a Beautiful Leaf in this soft Sandstone crack in Dor Tho blow from my Hammer. Here the lesson was thoroughly impressed upon to that although a Rock May be Rich in fossils it largely depends upon nature whether Wall defined specimens Cion be secured. Haying Conio cast to a Plano about five Miles West of thu supposed town site of Calgary the Sandstone was found much harder and did not break so irregularly As Tho Rock already referred to. 1 secured Somo very line specimens and had my moans of transport been bettor the society would have Superior specimens to those in its Possession. local Ity a High Bank probably 200 feet Over looks Tho Bow River. Tho track comes close to the watch Here and considerable blasting of Rock lies bean Dono to make Way for it. The broken fragments lie along the River s Edge As a Protection to the Bank and thus becomes very convenient for examination. Among this Loose material 1 found innumerable remains of vegetable life some stems but chiefly loaves very Complete and readily identified if proper books of reference were accessible. From an examination of some works upon Fossil leaves 1 am inclined to locate the specimens obtained among the Genera Protu phylum Corolus alums palonus and Poulua aupied to some of our modern representatives such is Tho Hazel Aldor and popular. Among Tho specimens secured at this exposure and donated to Tho society is n Small but Beautiful form of a More or less Feather like appearance. In the higher layers of this Esir pinot Many Fossil shells were observed of Tho River at this place it waa a common tiling to find petrified fish. To obtain Sulci was worthy any collector s Effort.
