 with the Bonaparte. The thickness on Tatlayoco, 220 miles north- 

 eastward 'from Skagit valley is estimated at 7,000 feet. These rocks 

 are regarded as of the same age as the Shasta Group of California.

In 1880, Prof. C. A. White§ said that the geographical limits of the

 Utah and Northern New Mexico. Its western limit, so far as known, 

 may be stated as approximately upon the meridian of the Wahsatch
