Abstract
Plant-bearing beds have been discovered by J. G. Fyles in late-glacial deposits from the Englishman River section, Vancouver Island, B.C. Radiocarbon dating indicated an age of ca. 12,000 years for these beds. Fossil cones of Pinus contoria Dougl. and leaves of Dryas drummondii Richards, were discovered and identified. Palynological study indicates that climate at the time was colder than the present.Keywords
