Abstract

No abstract provided. The following is taken from the author's introduction:

The geology of an area of about 2, 500 sq. km in the Omaruru district, S. W. A., is described. The doscription deals in detail with geomorphology, stratigraphy, tectonics, petrography, petrology and economic geology of the area. Conclusions are reached concerning the geological history, and the relationship of this area to adjoining areas. The work consists of 165 typed pages, 26 tables, 18 diagrams, 43 photographs, 13 photomicrographs and 13 maps

Situation: The area to which the following description relates is situated in the north-western corner of Omaruru District, South West Africa. It comprises a strip of country from fifteen to twenty-five kms wide, along the south side of the Ugab River from its mouth to a point one hundred kilometres inland, where it skirts the northern side of the Brandberg. The Brandberg West Mine lies roughly in the centre of this area. Nearby but outside the area lie the Doros Crater and the Messum Alkali Complex, to the north and south respectively
