122 THE CALEDON AREA 



Bokkeveld and Witteberg beds of the Breede River 

 Valley south of Goudini. 



The great block of mountainous country between 

 Eawsonville and Cape Hangklip contains two irregularly 

 shaped depressed areas, in which lie the Bokkeveld beds 

 of the upper part of the Zonder Einde River, and those 

 of the Houwhoek and Palmiet River district. The 

 Greenland and Houwhoek Mountains have a north-west 

 trend, and separate the two depressions. The country 

 between Rawsonville and Cape Hangklip was, as it 

 were, the hottest part of the battle-field where the north- 

 south and east-west fold-producing forces met, and the 

 resulting ridges and depressions trend north-west or 

 north-east. The Bosch veld, Greenland, and Houwhoek 

 Mountains are the chief ridges of the north-west group, 

 and the Zonder Einde and Houwhoek-Palmiet River 

 Bokkeveld areas the corresponding depressions. The 

 north-east group of ridges are the Dwars Berg-Bier 

 River, and the Donkerhoek-Paarde Berg Ranges, w 7 hile 

 the corresponding synclines are those of the Villiersdorp 

 and Bot River Valleys. The north-east folds extend 

 eastwards as far as Lady Grey (Robertson) and as far 

 north as the extremity of the Hex River Range. 



The Zonder Einde Range, complicated by the north- 

 east folds of the Lady Grey area, is an irregular anti- 

 cline, and the beds in the northern limb dip down and 

 come up against the Malmesbury beds along the great 

 Worcester fault ; to the south of the range the Zwart- 

 berg, better known as the Caledon Mountain, is the 

 only conspicuous anticline that lies in the wide, synclinal 

 area between it and the less disturbed Table Mountain
