THE ZWARTEBERGEN 



A-* 



fr rt 



clines of Table Mountain sandstone, 

 forming the Paarde Berg, Koode Berg 

 and the Pogha Hills, which together 

 make an irregularly shaped connect- 

 ing ridge between the Zwartebergen 

 and Langebergen, although the con- 

 nection with the former range is in- 

 complete owing to the presence of 

 the Amalienstein fault. 



The Zwartebergen commence in 

 Anysberg (highest point, 5,322 feet), 

 which is a westerly pitching anticline 

 of regular form on the north of the 

 Ladismith Karroo. The sandstones 

 which pass under that country reap- 

 pear in Anysberg, and are continued 

 in the Zwartberg Eange 160 miles 

 before they sink below the Bokke- 

 veld beds near the Zuurberg Poort. 

 About twenty miles west of Ladi- 

 smith village, the Amalienstein fault 

 is first met with, throwing down the 

 Bokkeveld beds on the south against 

 the Table Mountain series ; the 

 throw increases eastwards, so that 

 near Amalienstein the Bokkeveld beds 

 are in contact with the Cango series. 

 This fault is in many respects like 

 the Worcester fault, and replaces the 

 southern limb of the Zwartberg anti- 

 cline for a considerable distance 

 over sixty miles.
