INTRODUCTION

During the field seasons of 1931–1933, geologists from Northwestern University were engaged in a study of the pre-Cambrian formations of the Sawatch Range in central Colorado. The present paper is the result of more detailed study in the summer of 1933 of reverse faults along the western slope of the range.
