Extract

In his report on “The Coal Resources of the East Africa Protectorate” published in the Twelfth International Geological Congress‘ The Coal Resources of the World (vol. ii, p. 381), Dr. J. W. Evans discusses evidence bearing on the existence of coal in the Taru Grits, which form the lowest member of the coastal series of sediments in the East Africa Protectorate. Referring to a report of mine, he remarks that I believe them to be of Karroo age, and then says, “E. Fraas, who subsequently made a brief examination of the line of railway, and whose account of the geology of the region differs in many respects from that of Maufe, refers them to the Middle Dogger (Inferior Oolite).”
