Abstract
UNTIL quite recently, the interior of that vast tract of Africa which lies north of the equator and west of the Nile was virtually terra incognita to the geologist. During the last few years, however, geologists of several nationalities, particularly French and Belgian, have been actively engaged in the survey of various portions of this area. As a result, a considerable amount of information on the geology of the region has become available, but is scattered among numerous publications many of which are not easily accessible to British students. The literature is, moreover, somewhat bewildering owing to the numerous unfamiliar stratigraphical terms which have been introduced.
