Glacial Conglomerate in the Table Mountain Series. 3 



difficulty in the numerous small ravines on the steep slopes of the 

 hill. Pebbles up to fifteen inches in length are embedded in the 

 mudstone at the bottom of the outlier, and striated stones can be 

 obtained. Most of the pebbles are water-worn and well-rounded, 

 but striations occur on many of those as well as on the subangular 

 pieces of rock. The lowest portion of the conglomerate here is red, 

 and the colour seems to be an original feature ; the upper part, and 

 the shales above, are yellowish at the surface and greenish within. 

 The usual colour of the shales in the Table Mountain series is red, 

 but both the shales and the conglomerate of Pakhuis are greenish 

 when unaffected by the weather.

Fig. 1. — Section through south-west side of outlier on boundary of Klein 

 Vley and Groot Portrys Vley. 



South-east of the outlier on Klein Vley the sandstones below the 

 shale band form a great area on the western slope of the Ceder- 

 bergen ; between Lange Kloof and the path to Krakadouw these 

 lower sandstones abut against beds belonging to a higher horizon 

 along the Augsburg fault. On the south-west side of the Jan Dissel's 

 river the shale band crops out again, but it is here on the downthrow 

 side of the Augsburg fault. I followed it across the watershed between 

 the Jan Dissel's and Keurbosch Kraal river for a distance of over 

 five miles along the outcrop, and it can be seen to extend far to the 

 south, though it becomes thinner in that direction. The total thick-
