Professor Davis Back From Africa

Professor Davis has just returned from his trip to South Africa as a guest of the British Association for the Advancement of science. His journey covered over 20,000 miles and led through the most characteristic sections of the country, including the famous gold mines of the Rand at Johannesburg, the great diamond mines of Kimberley, the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi river, and the so-called Dwyka glacial conglomerate of Permian date, a sheet of unstratified clay, and boulders covering an area of about 200,000 square miles, some account of which will be given by Professor Davis at the nest Geological Conference. The whole expedition, which occupied 110 days, was excellently managed and gave an immense amount of pleasure and information to those who took part in it.
