1. The Drosdy of Zwellendam is situated at the foot of the 
first chain of mountains that runs east and west or parallel to 
thq sea-coast, and is distant from Cape Town about one hun- 
dred and forty miles. It is composed of about thirty houses, 
scattered irregularly over a small but fertile valley, down the 
middle of which runs a plentiful stream of water. At the 
head of the valley stands the house of the Landrost, to which 
is annexed a large garden well stocked with a variety of fruits, 
and a spacious vineyard ; the whole enclosed and planted 
with oaks and other trees. In the middle of the village a 
large church has lately been erected, which is the only place 
of worship in the whole district.

that lies between the Gauritz River and the drosdy, and is
