White Bark Pine's Range Some new northern range marks for Pinus albicaulis, the white bark pine, were reported last summer by members of the British Columbia Forest Service. Mr. H. R. Christie found some rather large trees grow- ing at the western end of Eutsuk Lake, and also on the shores of Whitesail Lake, a smaller lake im- mediately north of Eutsuk and sep- arated from it by a short portage a little over a mile in length. The latitude is about 53° 30' and the al- titude of the lakes in the neighbor- hood of 3,000 feet, The lakes lie at the extreme western margin of the great interior plateau region, direct- ly against the eastern side of the Cascade Range, which extends along here like an enormous wall.
