if cut out by denudation, and strongly suggest that at the time of 

 the bevelling the whole of the basins were filled in ; an additional 

 evidence of this is that the Enon Conglomerate still left in the little 

 basins occurs on the up-stream end ; at the down-stream end it has 

 all been carried away. The krantzes of gravel stand out perfectly 

 vertical, on the tops of very steep slopes, and from their nature are 

 easily excavated into small caves and recesses. In these hollows 

 the bees are very fond of building, but the nests are unapproachable ; 

 the Bushmen, however, determined to get the honey, used to drive 

 pegs in the vertical face of the rock, and thus made a ladder by

which to reach the nest ; the pegs can still be seen in many places 

 in Baviaan's Kloof, especially by Verloren Eiver. 



Turning now to the gravel-covered bevels north of the inner coast 

 range, the Zwartebergen, we find but a few isolated patches of the 

 gravel cap left. Near Floris Kraal, by Laingsberg, at Prince Albert 

 village on the east, and near Klaarstroom on the Prince Albert road, 

 there are unmistakable gravel plateaus, but whether these belong to 

 the great system that we have been discussing in the inter-moun- 

 tainous region is another thing. I believe the tops of the Witteberg 

 hills here represent that period, and that the gravel caps just men- 

 tioned, except perhaps the Floris Kraal one, are on a lower level
