328 G. K GILBERT — GRAVITATIONAL ASSEMBLAGE IN GRANITE 



Plate 45. — Inclusions in Granite of Kings River Region 



Figure 1. — Normal distribution. 



The locality is on the northeastern slope of mount Silliman, 

 Sierra Nevada, near its base. The inclusions are distin- 

 guished from various patches of surface discoloration by their 

 compact forms and simple outlines. The largest inclusion has 

 a diameter of about one foot.

 feet long, near the middle of the view. 



Plate 46. — Compressed Inclusions 



The locality is on the middle fork of Dougherty creek, Sierra 

 Nevada, in the northeast part of the Tehipite quadrangle, 

 U. S. Geological Survey, and approximately in latitude 36° 

 54', longitude 118° 36%'. An assemblage of inclusions having 

 the form of a belt is shown in perspective, some of the nor- 

 mal granite appearing on each side. All the inclusions are 

 elongated in the direction of the belt and compressed later- 

 ally. The inclusions show differences in shade and texture.
