Extract

As not much appears to be known about the geology of Somali Land, a description of some specimens, forwarded by Col. M. Gosset, and collected by Capt. King, the Political Officer at Zaila, may be of interest. These specimens were sent to Prof. Rupert Jones, who requested Professor Bonney to undertake the description of them. As, owing to unexpected pressure of work, he found it difficult to spare time for this purpose, he placed them in my hands, and the work has been done at University College under his superintendence.
