TRAVELS IN AFRICA. 
December ^ waggon aiid direded my courfe through a fandy 
'—^ plaiiij to the houfe of Mrs. Low, htuate in the Long Valley. 
On the eighth my waggon arrived, and the following day 
I was fupplied with a team of frefa oxen, and direded my 
courfe to the Berg Valley, where Lftayed two days, making 
excurhons through part of the country, in which I colledled 
feveral plants. When we arrived at the Croife, we remained 
there all night, and on the fucceeding day proceeded on our 
journey along the Picquet Berg. At night we arrived at the 
houfe of Abert Honna Cambt, where I continued two days, 
and made an excurfion to the mountain. 
We then proceeded on our journey, and arrived at Rie 
Beck’s Caftiel, at the houfe of Mr. Droyer, where I vilited 
the Roode Sand, or Land Van Waveren, which is fituate to 
the eaftward of Rie Beck’s Cafliel. This is a pleafant and 
fruitful country, bounded by the large chain of mountains 
which are terminated on the eaft by Hottniqua Land, and on 
the weft by the chain of mountains which begin at Cape Falfe, 
they join to the northward, where the mountain is called 
the Winter Hocks Berg. This mountain is extremely high; 
and during a confiderable part of the year its fummit is co- 
^•ered with fnow. To the eaftward is a pleafant country, 
called the Goudinnie, where there is a hot bath. The Breed 
Rivier has its fource in this place, and to the eaftward is 
joined by the Hexen River, or Witches River. Along the 
weft ftde of the chain of mountains, which begins at Cape 
Falfe, is fituate the Parel and Draken Styne, a well watered
