tshasma River valley, which had the direction N. 65° V.!) 
The description begins from the east. 
Northeast of the present 
springs, with their glittering 
white and yellow sinter de- 
posits, lie 3 distinct, ancient 
East 
Rh, disintegrated, sinter cliffs. 
à I estimated the one furthest 
aye Poe to the rear to be about 30 
mètres in height and 150 
mètres in length. The most 
eastern of the springs now 
TI; active (I), gushes out of the 
western slope of a sinter 
N: = empty Basin cliff, whose upper edge was 
about 9 mètres above the 
x e' _ enclosed “yard” (see below), 
Qu at a height of 1—5 mètres 
above the bottom of the 
“yard”. The spring was 
plainly seen issuing from a 
crack in the sinter, having 
the direction east-west, and 
this crack was contiguous 
with another, having a 
northwesterly direction. The 
temperature of the spring 
was 53°C; there was plenty 
of water but it did not 
bubble. The water had 
formed, a white © sinter 
shelf, which sloped toward 
the west, and had worn a 
furrow in the upper end. 
Further down it branched 
out in several arms and 
flowed down to the “yard”, constantly depositing white sinter 
and a little yellow sulphur.
