A geological sketch map of africa south of the zambesi


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT THE chief object of this new map, and accompanying pamphlet, of South Africa is to show that the Witwatersrand beds occur over a large portion of Africa south of the Zambesi. The


band of dolomite, already described by Mr. Draper, is used by the author as a means of identifying the various scattered portions of sandstones, conglomerates, &c, occurring in South


Africa, and which in many localities have proved to be auriferous. That the auriferous strata of the Rand occur outside the Transvaal is an established fact; but Mr. Struben hardly brings


forward enough evidence to show that the sandstones, conglomerates and dolomites, recognised by him as identical with the Witwatersrand beds, are really all of one age. A Geological Sketch
