  • 344 “Die Kalahari”, The suggestion that the relation of the granite to the Ghanzi beds is similar to that of the granite to the Malmesbury beds at the Cape (p. 347–48) does not carry conviction; it is based on the occurrence of gneiss near the granite outerop at Okwa and between it and the outcrop of the Ghanzi beds at Nakais 40 miles away. Dr. Passarge, however, states that the relation is not known

  • du Toit , A. L. 1921 . 40 – 41 . “Geology of South Africa”, 1926, places them in the later part of his Primitive Systems; E. Krenkel, “Geologie Afrikas”, vol. ii, p. 693, places them with the “altalgonkischen Komas System”, i.e. in a younger group than the Swaziland-Damara Systems, though he remarks that perhaps Passarge included more than one group of rocks in his Chanseschichten. Dr. P. Range in “Zur Stratigraphie des Hererolandes”, Monatsb. d. Deutschen Geol. Gesellschaft, Bd. lxi, 1909, No. 6,p. 298, accepts them as part of the Primary formation, but he remarks that Hermann's specimens of the sediments between Witvley and Gobabis, which Hermann correlated with the Gibeon beds (in part the equivalent of Range's Fish River beds), supported the correlation with the latter. Hermann (Monatsb. d. Deutschen Geol. Gesellschaft, 1908,p. 259) placed the Gobabis rocks in his Waterberg formation, a name taken from the Waterberg in South-West Africa. This Waterberg formation (Etjo sandstone of Schneiderhöhn and Reuning) is believed to be part of the Karroo System (A. L. du Toit, “Geology of South Africa”, 1928,p. 260). So both the nomenclature and the facts may still be in some confusion. See also Fritz Jaeger and Leo Waibel, “Beitraege zur Landeskunde von Sudwestafrika”, Bd. ii, p. 78. Mitt. a. d.

  • “Die Kalahari”, pp. 578, 706–708, 731–32. In 1907 Professor Kalkowsky kindly let me examine the slices of Passarge's rocks in Dresden and take away chips from which they were cut. The slices from the chips brought away are in the Survey collection at Cape Town. At the time I was chiefly interested in the silicified rocks, but a piece of greywacke from the Upper Ngami beds of Rengakabucht (south side of Ngami) is amongst the rocks taken away (No. 285 of Kalkowsky's series and 1871 of the Survey slices in Cape Town), and it is very like the rocks described in the text from the Ghanzi district though coarser in grain
