Autograph transcripts of three memoirs in the " Transactions of the 

 Geological Society," with pencil copies of the accompanying plates, by

 Africa," in which he supports the theory that the land of Ophir lay in 

 Mashonaland, and his sketches include one of the old workings near 

 Maghoondas Village, in which district also he notes and depicts natives 

 whose method of wearing their hair strikingly resembles that shown in 

 drawings on Egyptian monuments.

 which were either duplicates or contained manuscript notes, by Solamler, 

 Dryander, and Robert Brown, and which, with the MSS., Prints and 

 Drawings, remained in the custody of the Keeper of the Banksian 

 Botanical Collections.*
