Last Summer, when I travelled in South Africa with the British Association, I examined the diamantiferous gravels on the Vaal River near Kimberley. During this visit Mr. Krumbelt, apothecary in Barkly West, had the kindness to give me three fossil teeth which he had found in the local gravels. Nos. 1 and 2 were obtained from the so-called breakwater workings of the river-side, while No. 3 was found in the Waldeck Plant in the higher terrace of gravels at an elevation of 60 to 80 feet. The state of preservation of all these teeth is that of real fossil remains.
