Long lecture in the evening to be given Mr. Dawson. In Geological Club. The meeting was held at Mr Kidd's home and later tea and lunch was served. Present about 20 young men and one girl, are undergraduates interested in geology. So failed to be able at 11 P.M. The first sunny day in a long time. The day is cool and during the early morning it sleeted. The Coast Range stood out majestically, all shining with fresh snow. So tried to see the highest one - Crown Butt to the south of Capilano Canyon, but the top was usually covered in clouds. The Fraser River and estuary separates the various parts of Vancouver, and on both banks there are once preserved terraces, one continuing in- craved planes that to the east rise to over 600 feet. The environment of Vancouver on sunny days is fascinating with its scenery. Had my R.R. ticket extended one day, day adjacent Also saw the towering peaks facing North Vancouver crowned by dipping the Guarding Lions of Vancouver.
