12 TERTIARY GRAVELS OF THE SIERRA NEVADA OF CALIFORNIA.
MAPS.
It has not been possible to provide this paper with the complete maps of the gold belt as
issued by the United States Geological Survey in the Geologic Atlas of the United States.
Plate I (in pocket) will serve as a general guide to the geology of the area, but it is recommended
that the reader who wishes full and detailed information obtain a set of the folios relating to
the gold belt, the names of which are marked on figure 1.
