Extract

The geology of South Africa is once again being brought to the notice of European geologists in the able papers by Dr. Voit in the Zeitschrift für praktische Geologie. In the first instalment Dr. Voit follows Drs. Hatch & Corstorphine in correlating the Waterberg Sandstone with the Table Mountain Sandstone, which is a small matter perhaps, but as it would in Europe be equivalent to correlating the Old Red Sandstone with the Torridon Sandstone, it is necessary to state the objections to this correlation and enable geologists to judge for themselves whether it is right or wrong.
