The central theme in the presentation will be a discussion of the evidence supporting the view of the pre-Cretaceous age of the uncrystalline basement rocks of this region. The evidence treated of will deal partly with some results of recent fieldwork in the southern portion of the area and partly with a more detailed restatement of the conditions found to obtain in northern California.
