PosTSCKiPT. — Since compiling the synoptical accounts of the Karoo 

 and Uitenhage formation given at pages 142 & 149, Dr. Atherstone 

 has kindly sent me the ' Notes of a Journey in two directions across 

 the Colony, made in the years 1857-58, by Andrew "Wyley, Esq.,' 

 4to : Cape Town, 1859. This Pv-eport contains very valuable infor- 

 mation on the lithology and geology of South Africa; and, as an 

 Appendix, the author gives, in a tahular form, his views of the 

 grouping of the several formations, with their approximate thick- 

 nesses, as below. I premise, however, that Mr. "Wyley's reference 

 of some of the divisions to the European New Eed Sandstone and 

 the Carboniferous groups is not at all in accordance with the views 

 advanced in the foregoing Memoir. 



Mr. Wyley's divisions of the Karoo Beds, with the included 

 Trap-breccia, coincide with those suggested at pp. 142, 143; but 

 his nomenclature appears to me less applicable than that proposed 

 in this Memoir. 



t These seem to belong to the " Wood-bed series " of the Sunday's River ; and 

 probably others of the same zone are included in tliis column.
