certain distinguishing features, easily discernible on the diagrams, 
no matter, apparently, whether the underlying rock be Table 
Mountain sandstone or belong to the Bokkeveld or Witteberg 
beds; and again, though the Enon soils of the Riversdale and 
Mossel Bay Divisions are all round the richest, yet they do not 
differ very widely from the soils of the same districts overlying the 
Bokkeveld beds. 
Without for the moment considering the geological relations of the 
soil, some interesting information may be afforded by making two 
cross-country cuts, one almost due east and west from the farm 
Rietfontein in the western part of the Caledon Division, terminating 
near the mouth of the Great Brak River; and the other beginning 
from the same farm, running in an east-south-easterly direction, and 
reaching the coast about midway between Struys Point and Cape 
Infanta; as we travel along these lines let us take the soils lying 
nearest to hand, on either side, for consideration. Taking, then, the 
south-easterly course first, we meet in succession the soils enumerated 
in the following list (compare Plate XX.) :—
