Abstract
The quartz-syenite outcrop in the Las Anod District of the Somaliland Protectorate has been known for at least twenty-three years, but the true relationship between it and the overlying Cretaceous sediments has not been clearly resolved. Some geologists have said that the igneous rocks are overlain unconformably by the Cretaceous, whilst others have said that they intrude the Cretaceous. The present contribution brings forward field evidence to confirm the former view.
