Abstract
THE Department of Lands and Mines (Geological Division), Tanganyika Territory, has issued an account of the mineral resources of the Territory, prepared by Sir Edmund Teale and F. Oates (Bull. 16. Dar es Salaam, 1943. 15s.). This bulletin contains, in Part 1, an account of the relatively few mineral deposits that are, or have recently been worked in Tanganyika. Part 2 includes a much longer list of economic minerals the occurrence of which has been recorded in the Territory, though in many cases in small quantities only. Notes on the manner in which these minerals occur are given, with the view of assisting would-be prospectors. Further and more systematic exploration appears to be necessary before it can be said that the economic possibilities of these deposits can be properly assessed. Part 3 contains a summary of information regarding certain specially selected minerals, for consideration in reviewing the actual and potential mineral resources of Tanganyika, more particularly in regard to war-time requirements.
