Geological magazine : Vol. 10 Iss. 1-12 Year. 1893Summary: Extract
The following notes have been drawn up from a study of specimens which were collected by G. F. Scott Elliot, Esq., during the earlier of two recent expeditions in Africa. He followed the Nile to somewhat beyond the second cataract, and brought back more than 130 examples of various rocks. The collection was sent to University College for examination, which I was allowed to undertake by the kindness of Professor Bonney, to whom I am further indebted for much help and advice on points of difficulty. A detailed description has been furnished to Mr. Scott Elliot to be included in the account of his journey, which it is to be hoped will be published before long. It may, however, be useful to have a short summary of the chief points of geological interest for general reference in an easily accessible publication.
