Abstract
THE issue of treatises on general geology specially adapted to readers and observers in the units of our federal commonwealth is a sign of healthy autonomy in the domain of natural history. Colleges in the Dominions have long been troubled with the details of the English Oligocene, a poor thing at the best, or the Llandovery sequence on the Shropshire border. Aspirants in South Africa have been well served by Mr. A. L. Du Toit's “Physical Geography” and Prof. E. H. L. Schwarz's “South African Geology,” since the latter includes a short general introduction to the science.
