A paper on " Eesults of Experiments on Table Mountain for 

 Ascertaining the Amount of Moisture deposited from the South- 

 East Clouds" was read by Dr. E. Marloth. The author states, 

 in conclusion, that he wishes to point out once more that he does 

 not consider the measurements given in his communications to 

 represent real rainfall. In his first paper a quantity of 75 inches 

 was mentioned for a certain period, while the table of the present 

 communication shows a record of 48 inches for one month. Even if 

 90 per cent, of this quantity is discarded, the remaining 10 is still 

 very largely in excess of the rainfall recorded on the ordinary gauge. 

 The most sceptical critic must admit that this quantity of water 

 gathered during the dry season of the year must exercise a con- 

 siderable influence on the vegetation of the mountains as well as 

 on the springs. 



A communication from Mr. J. T. Johnson " On the Discovery 

 of a Large Number of Stone Implements of Palaeolithic Type at 

 Vereeniging, Transvaal," was taken as read. The author describes 

 and figures several types of stone implements of palaeolithic 

 type, some of which he considers to be verging on the neolithic.
