Extract

In 1911 Mr. E. J. Wayland, F.G.S., and the authors visited the Portuguese East African province of Mozambique in the interests of the Memba Minerals, Ltd. The country was very little known geographically, and except along the coast, it was a terra incognita to geologists. We hope in due course to publish a detailed account of our observations, but as it will be some time before this can be completed, it seems advisable to give a short résumé of the salient geological features of the territory. It is hoped that these resultswill prove of interest to students of East African geology, especially in their bearing on problems of theoretical interest concerning the geological history of that portion of the globe.
