Abstract
THE presentation of the ninth annual report of the Geological Commission of the Cape of Good Hope will be welcomed by all interested in the prosperity of one of our oldest colonies in Africa. We have been so long accustomed to see similar surveys started and then abandoned before sufficient information had been obtained to yield permanent results that we were afraid that the publication of this report might possibly have been postponed. The past record of surveys of Cape Colony has, indeed, been a dismal one, so hampered have they been in their prosecution, so undervalued have been the results. Fortunately, necessity knows no law, and there are few portions of Africa which do not possess a more or less fully equipped geological survey.
