62, the lower Beaver Valley and Prairie Hills. Directly below on the east side are the Avalanche and Eagle Glaciers. Southward close at hand rises the sharp north-western arête of Mt. Sir Donald.

First Ascent: By S. E. S. Allen and W. D. Wilcox in 1893.

First Ascent by a lady: Miss Henrietta L. Tuzo in 1901.

Eagle Glacier—Name: By the Topographical Survey in relation to Eagle Peak.

Altitude: 5,000 feet—8,000 feet.

Location: Flows from the southern portion of Avalanche Né}vé; immediately north of the east arête of Uto Peak; on the western slopes of Beaver Valley, and draining to Beaver River. It is seen to best advantage from Bald Mt.

Route: The same as to Avalanche Névé.

Time required: 4½ hours. A guide is necessary for novices.

Fang Rock—Name: Bv the Topographical Survev.

Altitude: 9,302 feet.

Location: An isolated tooth-shaped pinnacle, rising above the ice of three surrounding glaciers on the west side of the north branch of the Illecillewaet River immediately adjacent to its valley.

Climb: Snow, ice and rock. It is most prominently seen from peaks of the Hermit Range, especially from Mt. Bagheera and Mt. McGill; also from Corbin Peak on the west side of Caribou Creek.

Feuz Peak—Name: By Professors Fay and Parker, after Edouard Feuz, Sr., of Interlaken, who has been employed at Glacier since 1899 and is now head guide (1911).

Altitude: 10,982 feet.

Location: The middle and second highest peak of Mt. Dawson.

First Ascent: By Edward Franzehn in 1908.

Route: (1) Reached by a traverse of Dawson Crest from Hasler Peak (for whole route see Mt. Dawson). (2) A second route is from Donkin Pass by ascent of Michel Peak and traverse of the crest to Feuz Peak. For novices two guides are safer. A rockclimb with several snow-couloirs.

Findhorn—Name: By the Topographical Survev.

Altitude: 9,501 feet.'

Location: Southerly of the two peaks of Mt. McBean. There is no record of an ascent (1911). (For route see Mt. McBean.) It is chiefly a rock climb.

Fish Creek (Incomappleux River)—Name: English for the Indian 'Tncomappleux." One of the main water-outlets of the district.

Location: The principal southern overflow of the Illecillewaet Névé is by the Geikie Glacier; the glacier-torrent from its snout is known as the Goikie Creek until its junction with Van Horne Brook, and then as Incomappleux River or Fish Creek. From Geikie Glacier the stream flows south-westerly. It then describes a great arc and flows due south for 30 odd miles, discharging its waters into the north-cast arm of Upper Arrow Lake. The upper course is in a deep, wild, and gloomy trough, providing some very impressive scenery. Just before the great arc is reached the stream pours through a box canyon with perpendicular walls.

Close to its mouth in Arrow Lake is the mining town of Camborne. From here back to the bend, the valley and its branches
