JOURNEY FROM GRIQUA TOWN TO LATTAKOO. 
March 21. 
I LEFT Griqua Town for Lattakooat three p. m., 
taking a road to the eastward of that by which I 
travelled on my former journey. These roads are 
separated by a chain of low hills, only as far as 
Steven Fountain, where they unite. We halted 
about eight p.m. at Coglebane Fountain. Three 
small pools of good water are formed by one spring. 
Six or seven acres of flat ground around the pools 
produce good grass, but all beyond, as far as I ex- 
amined, is covered with a pavement of rock, and 
between the flags grass and bushes had sprung 
up— the latter to the height of from two to 
eight feet. This is almost double the height to 
which the same bushes grow in most other parts of 
Africa. Several deep pits, dug by Bushmen for 
catching game, were near the pools, which ren- 
dered it hazardous to approach them in the dark.
