Abstract
abstract This paper gives an account of a recent journey from Adjah Bippo to the Ankobra Junction in the Gold Coast Colony. A range of clay-slate hills is succeeded for 6 miles by flat ground in which diorite was found, and that by a lofty hill in which clay-slate dipping east occurs. The Teberibie range with reefs of conglomerate, and a second range with similar reefs, were crossed. Gold-bearing alluvia are briefly described, and the gold is supposed to have come from the hills. The Adjah Bippo, Tarkwa, and Teberibie formations are considered to be part of a syncline. Certain auriferous conglomerates, and others presumed to be identical with them, are thought to be ancient alluvial deposits.
