I77®- in the morning, when we arrived at the Small Copper Berg September. , '— .— 1 Fountain, where we flopped. As foon as it was day, we proceeded on our journey ; and at nine o’clock I left the waggon, and direded my courfe through the mountainous part of the country in fearch of plants. I alfo vifited the Copper Mines ; and brought with me feveral fpecimens of the ore, which is very rich. In the evening I arrived at the houfe of Vander Hever . and about two hours afterwards my waggon arrived. Here we refted feveral days, and were kindly entertained. During our abode at this place, I made feveral excurfions into the adjacent country, and confiderably enriched my collection. As the dry feafon was now commencing, the greater part of the inhabitants were removed to their fummer reiidence on the Camis Berg. This mountain, as I mentioned before, fupplies all this part of the country with water, which interfccis the ground in different places. On the north fide flows the Coufie, and on the fouth and fouth-wefl, the Green River. Several other rivers, likewife, derive their fource from the Camis Berg; but they are of very little utility to the Nimiqua Land. Being furniftied with a team of freih oxen, we travelled towards the fouthward the whole of the fourth of October, and at night arrived at the Sand River, the water of which we found brackiih. Here we remained till morning, and then purfued our journey for about fourteen miles, to a place where we found excellent water ; but no great variety of plants, except Geraniums.
