Abstract
Since the famous expedition of the late F. L. and W. James, of E. Lort - Phillips and G. P. V. Aylmer, in 1884–5, opened the Somali plateau to European exploration, the country has been repeatedly traversed. A valuable series of geographical memoirs, hunting journals, and bluebooks has described the main features in the topography of the country, and given many suggestions as to its geological structure. The collections of Dr. Révoil and Prof. Keller have proved that Neocomian beds occur there, and thus have shown that it is of greater interest than most of the monotonous unfossiliferous wastes of East Africa.Keywords
