resemble very much those of the Cape Cedar, but the seeds are 

 more similar to those of the dwarf species, yet different.

 remarks on the exhibit. 



Mr. A. W. Eogers read a paper on " The Glacial Conglomerate in 

 the Table Mountain Series near Clanwilliam." 



This communication is an extension of one read before the Society 

 in 1901. The conglomerate with glaciated pebbles has now been 

 traced through a distance of about 23 miles near Clanwilliam. 

 There was formerly some doubt as to whether the conglomerate 

 was really interbedded with the sandstones and shales of the 

 Table Mountain group, but this doubt has been removed by the 

 finding of the conglomerate on the downthrow side of the Augsburg 

 fault but on the same horizon as in the Pakhuis section. 



By measurement at four localities the conglomerate is now known 

 to occur at the base of the shale band, which is 300 feet thick, and 

 to occupy approximately one-third of that band. Passages into 

 both the underlying sandstone and the overlying shale have been 

 observed. 



The relationship of the shale band to the other parts of the 

 formation, and the conditions under which the Table Mountain 

 series was formed are discussed.
