Kamloops to end of lake clear of wood end of lake to R. du Defunt quite open in parts elsewhere thinly wooded with Red Pine and Douglas Pine. A high hill at each side of the R. du Defunt that on the east clear of wood on the west a steep hill as already noticed, thinly wooded. R du Defunt to Beaver swamp wooded with trees of no great diameter chiefly Douglas Pine and Pinus Banksiana a tree closely resembling the Scotch Firs It is of very good quality Beaver Swamp to Loon Lake chiefly open, with spots of clear woods.

Loon Lake to Bonaparte clearly wooded (Red Pine ceases a little beyond the Bonaparte) To Green Lake open in parts clearly wooded in others

To Bridge Creek the greater part wooded somewhat similar in character to the point between R du Defunt and the Beaver Swamps Hard bottom throughout

The above remarks regarding the tract lying between Kamloops and Bridge Creek are from my own observations and I give them therefore with confidence as being very nearly correct. From the lower Ferry or Bridge to the same point I give on the authority of others as I have never travelled by the present line of waggon road between these two points
