Answer:
CERTAIN features connected with the occurrence of plutonic
rocks on the western side of America suggest hypotheses which
have an important bearing upon our general conceptions of the
structural development of the continent. These features are but
imperfectly and very partially recorded thus far in geological
literature, owing to the vastness of the field and the meagre
amount of investigation which has been devoted to it. Yet
enough facts have been accumulated to have impressed the writer
that they point to generalizations which have not yet been fully
presented for the consideration of students of continental
problems. To formulate these generalizations is the object of
this brief note. It is not the purpose of the writer to add to the
record of facts so much as to connote the more important of
them and to suggest their cumulative significance.
The researches of Richardson' and Dawson" on the coast and
islands of British Columbia have shown that the Cretaceous rocks
of that region, ranging from the Aucella bearing horizon (Neocomian) to the Chico, repose upon a profoundly eroded complex
of granite and metamorphic rocks. The disturbances which have
affected these 'Cretaceous strata since their deposition have been
of a local rather than of a regional character. They lie upon the
old basement usually in but little disturbed attitudes, or are
inclined at low angles, though occasionally they are faulted or
sharply folded along certain lines of post-Cretaceous movement.
