Excerpt from The Witwatersrand and Associated Beds The coal-measures alone offer a vast field for research; very much work has already been done on them and, I do not propose here to give them more than passing notice. I intend also to include under Associated Beds the New, or Red, Granite. My reasons for doing so are: that although it occupies a considerably higher horizon than the foregoing formations, yet to do so it broke through them; because certain bands of syenite encountered in the Dolomite in deep boreholes on the far East Rand have been strongly suspected (i) of being connected with the Red Granite; and, because in studying the Old, or Basement, Granite it is both interesting and instructive at the same time to compare it with the newer or Red Granite. Before proceeding, it will be well to mention briefly the remaining formations of the Transvaal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
