stayed for two days, during which we paid short visits to the seashore 

 and to the Kosi Bush. From this point we returned to Sonikele, by 

 the route we had come, and arrived there on 22nd July. From 

 Somkele one of us travelled on foot to St. Lucia Lake and across- it 

 to the seacoast.

(1) Physical Features. The area under survey belongs, geogra- 

 phically, to the "first terrace" or coast-belt of Natal, which widens 

 more and more as one travels northward from the Tugela River owing 

 to the north-easterly trend of the coast-line. It is bounded on the 

 east by the Ubombo Mountains (2500 feet), which are a southward 

 extension of the loftier Lebombo Range of Portuguese East Africa.
