I.— INTEODUCTION. 



The Uitenhage plants submitted to me for examination by the 

 Geological Commission of Cape Colony were collected from rocks 

 exposed in the valleys of the Bezuidenhout, Witte, Sunday, and 

 Zwartkop Elvers in the Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth districts in 

 the south-east of Cape Colony; and from the neighbourhood of 

 Herbertsdale, Mossel Bay ; and Heidelberg. 



In their ' Report on parts of the Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth 

 Divisions,' * Messrs. Rogers and Schwarz mention the following 

 localities from which fossils were obtained : — 



1. Zioarthop Biver, between the town of Uitenhage and the mouth 

 of the river. 



2. Bezuidenhout Biver, from Blauw Krantz to the Sunday River. 



3. Witte Biver, from Enon to the Sunday River. 



4. Sunday Biver, between Dunbrodie and Addo Station.
