Abstract
To reopen a question which has seemed definitely settled ever since 1898, and which has accordingly become an accepted opinion in geological circles, is neither a pleasant nor an enviable task. Yet, as the question is one of universal interest geologically, it has to be tackled and settled. In the following I intend to discuss the problem in a manner as objective and concise as possible, in order to concentrate the argument on the points which fundamentally govern the problem. As, from personal observations on the spot I am only familiar with the South African occurrence, I intend discussing that one only, however likely it be that the arguments brought forward may fundamentally affect the appreciation of other similar occurrences in South America and Asia.Keywords
