Abstract
THE problem of structure of the Coast Ranges of California is by no means new. In fact, ever since the middle of the last century, when the first geological expedition went to California, it has been a subject of interest. Since the discovery of oil in Southern California, this interest in structural complexities has naturally been considerably enhanced. As a result, the State Mining Bureau and the United States Geological Survey have sponsored a great deal of survey work in this territory. Nearly the whole of Southern California has been mapped in detail, and widely differing theories on structure have been advanced from time to time, many of which have been published.
