Abstract
IN the September number of the Geographical Journal, Mr. Fred. Jeppe has a paper dealing in great detail with the Zoutpansberg gold-fields in the north of the Transvaal, illustrated by a new map of the district on a large scale, and by several photographs of characteristic scenery. The paper is historical as well as topographical, and contains an interesting account of the ancient workings in the Palabora region. The difficulty of orthography of place-names is referred to, several examples of alternative spelling being given, of which the series Li-Thaba,Lehlaba, Lechlaba, Lethaba, Letaba, Taba is characteristic. The district appears capable of great development when difficulties of transport are overcome by a branch from the Delagoa Bay railway.
