Extract

The material described in this paper was handed to me by the Liberian Development Company (to which I acted for some time as technical adviser) and was obtained in the course of prospecting operations prosecuted by that Company at Banja Ta (Montserrado) on the Jiblong and Bor Rivers (tributaries of the Junk River), some thirty miles inland from Monrovia, the chief port of the State of Liberia.
