120 THE CEDKRBERGEN 



and a part of Kobe Mountain is converted into an outlier 

 by two sets of streams running on the one hand into the 

 Olifant's Eiver direct, and on the other into the Oorlog's 

 Kloof Eiver which lies in a deep precipitous valley be- 

 hind the escarpment. The Table Mountain series comes 

 to an end with the Bokkeveld Mountain, although the es- 

 carpment is continued some miles farther in the same 

 line by the Ibiquas beds. The sandstone is only some 

 three feet thick at its termination, but gradually in- 

 creases in thickness southwards, so that at about thirty 

 miles south of its northern limit possibly the whole 5,000 

 feet, the average thickness of the Table Mountain series, 

 may be present. East of the Olifant's Kiver lies the great 

 anticline of the Cederbergen, which trends nearly north- 

 west in its northern portion, but turns nearly north and 

 south at the Trigonometrical Station (6,336 feet above 

 the sea) ; in the same neighbourhood the syncline of the 

 Cold Bokkeveld separates the main anticline from that 

 of the Schurfteberg, 1 of which the axis diverges in a 

 south-south-east direction and is inclined southwards, 

 so that the anticline disappears near the Hoad den Bek's 

 Kiver. The main Cederberg anticline is continued in 

 the Cold Bokkeveld Mountains and the southern 

 Schurftebergen. From the Schurftebergen the anti- 

 cline passes round the warm Bokkeveld into the Hex 

 Eiver Eange, closely backed by the Olifant's Eiver syn- 

 cline, so that the Table Mountain series in the block of 



1 There are two ranges called Schurftebergen (Rough Mountains) in 

 that part of the Colony. The one here referred to is the more northern 

 range ; the other flanks the Warm Bokkeveld on the west and is the 

 direct continuation of the Cederberg anticline.
