- Description: The work began with the production by the author of a geological map of the area, since this essential task had not previously been undertaken. A detailed study of the settlement plan, containing both European and African smallholders, was then made. This proved a very fruitful field of study, because within the area the settlement plan is undergoing dramatic changes which are having an effect on the land use pattern within the area. This study was concerned mainly with the production of a detailed land use map and a quantitative analysis of the land use distributions revealed by this map. The classification used fer the categories on the land use map closely resembles one used in the land use map of 'The Border Region' produced by the Border Regional Survey (1957/8) which was in turn based on the World Land Use Map classification. Accompanying this text are seven maps produced by the author, three of the land settlement plan (1: 50,000), one each of the geology (1: 50,000) and rainfall (1:125,000) and two of the land use (l: 50,000 and 1: 125,000) in the area. The field sheets (1: 18,000) which show the land use of the area in great detail, are to be found in the library of the Geography Departmont, Rhodes University in atlas form.

In the present revision are described eels of the families OPHICHTHIDAE, ECHELIDAE, M ORING UIDAE, and NEENCHELIDAE, which are chiefly sand-dwelling forms, norm ally not free swimming by day. Some favour muddy areas where the water is turbid, and are found in estuaries, sometimes in or near fresh water. None of these eels are of any economic importance in the Western Indian Ocean though some are eaten by the natives in parts of the region. Only few attain any size, the majority are small and seldom encountered by the ordinary fisherman, in many cases they have been unknown to the local inhabitants. Our specimens were obtained chiefly by rotenone poisoning of suitable areas, mainly intertidal. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: 1. In studying the effects of micro-climates on the distribution of larval ticks in the Eastern Cape Province four species were considered, namely, Boophilus decoloratus (Koch), Rhipicephalus evertsi (Neu), Amblyomma hebraeum (Koch) and Ixodes pilosus (Koch). 2. Three types of investigation were made:- i) autumn and spring surveys of the distribution of larval clusters, which were assumed to be close to positions in which egg-masses had been laid. - (Four species); ii) observations on the survival and development of eggs and engorged female ticks in microclimatically distinct field plots. - (Four species); iii) observations on the behaviour of the larvae and of the engorged female ticks. - (B. decoloratus). 3. The survey and plot data suggest that in autumn larval clusters of I. pilosus were to be found only in well-shaded situations because more exposed places were micro-climatically unfavourable to the survival of earlier stages. 4. The surveys show that in spring 1957 larval clusters of I. pilosus were to be found in unshaded, as well as in shaded, situations. 5. The survey and plot data indicate that the winter of 1957 was not favourable to the development of larvae of B. decoloratus, and that in spring new larval clusters may be expected to appear first in the warmest situations and later in the generally cooler places. 6. The plot data show that during hot and dry periods exposed situations were unfavourable to tho engorged females and eggs of all four species considered, but that during such periods these stages could sometimes survive in well-shaded places. 7. The survey and plot data show that in autumn and in spring larval clusters of B. decoloratus and R. evertsi may be present in unshaded situations. 8. The plot investigations provide little information about the distribution of larval clusters of A. hebraeum, but the survey data suggest that it is not remarkably different from that of B. decaloratus and R. evertsi. 9. There is a discrepancy in the survey and plot data: the surveys show that larval clusters of R. evertsi, and B. decoloratus were rare or absent from well-shaded situations, whereas tho plot data suggest such situations were micro-climatically favourable to larval developmcnt during the months preceding Autumn. 10. The observations on the behaviour of larvae and engorged females of B. decoloratus provide information which suggests that the behaviour of those stages may account for the rarity of larval clusters in well-shaded places. 11. The relative density of larval clusters of B. decoloratus is evidently also affected by factors other than micro-climate . The dropping- off behaviour of engorged female ticks appears to be possibly important in this.

- Description: The reefs of the Western Indian Ocean hold a dense population of marine eels of all kinds, and the morays are well represented. On some reefs in the more remote parts not often visited by humans we found a swarming population of morays, at low tide great numbers were moving freely all over the reef. In more inhabited areas there are fewer as the natives kill all they can, fearing them as much as snakes. Some species attain a large size, in East African coral reefs we have seen some with bodies the thickness of a man’s thigh. Native divers have told us that they fear these eels more than any other marine creature, as they have been known to seize a diver under the water, and so held he is powerless and drowns in a short time as there is no escaping from their powerful grip. While in some parts morays are eaten, they are apparently nowhere valued as food. In East Africa only certain natives eat them, but a number are dried for sending inland. In some parts the flesh of the moray produces an intoxication that may prove fatal (Ichthyosarcotoxism) and for which no antidote is known. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

These have almost always been single specimens, most rather small. Until recently records have been from the western north Atlantic (5), Red Sea (1), Persian Gulf (1), Western Pacific (5), Hawaii (3), Australia (2). In 1961 Williams reported 3 small specimens from equatorial East Africa, the first from the western Indian Ocean. Recently a specimen has been found at Algoa Bay, the first from South Africa, fortunately still alive, and of particular interest as being the smallest ever described. These fishes fall in the genus Uraspis Bleeker, 1855. , ABBYY FineReader 12 , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: During the past century at odd mostly long intervals there have appeared records and descriptions of certain rather small Carangid fishes, characterised by edentate white furred tongue and inside of mouth, and sometimes by the unusual armature of the straight part of the lateral line. These have almost always been single specimens, most rather small. Until recently records have been from the western north Atlantic (5), Red Sea (1), Persian Gulf (1), Western Pacific (5), Hawaii (3), Australia (2). In 1961 Williams reported 3 small specimens from equatorial East Africa, the first from the western Indian Ocean. Recently a specimen has been found at Algoa Bay, the first from South Africa, fortunately still alive, and of particular interest as being the smallest ever described. These fishes fall in the genus Uraspis Bleeker, 1855. , ABBYY FineReader 12 , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

The spectrographic determination of trace elements in citrus leaves

- Description: From Introduction: With the rapidly growing knowledge on trace elements and their influence on plant nutrition the need for accurate and rapid methods for their determination arose. The essential plant nutrients are usually divided into two groups. The major or macronutrient elements, necessary in comparatively large amounts, and the trace or micro-nutrient elements. In the case of plants, the first group includes Sulphur, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and Nitrogen. The essential trace elements are Iron, manganese, Boron, Copper, Zinc, Molybdenum and Chlorine. Cobalt is essential for animal nutrition as a constituent of Vitamin B₁₂, but its essentiality for plants has not yet been proved. The latter group consists of metals which are catalysts in enzyme reactions and whose presence in the plant in minute amount determines whether the plant will be able to complete the vegetative or reproductive stage of its life cycle. Molybdenum may be quoted as an example of an essential trace element. It is generally recognised to be the catalyst responsible for the fixation of Nitrogen.
