Rock Engravings in Central South Africa

Abstract

THIS substantial volume by Miss Wilman, keeper of the fine Museum at Kimberley, is the result of a quarter of a century's work, made possible by the financial assistance of the Royal Society of South Africa, and published by the Carnegie Trust through their great research branch in South Africa. The volume is far from being a complete survey of the rock engravings of South Africa, but rather the fruit of excursions round Kinderham, made chiefly during week-ends, with the addition of numerous documents by kindly collaborators.

The Rock-Engravings of Griqualand West ana Bechuanaland, South Africa.

By M. Wilman. Pp. xii + 78 + 70 plates. (Cambridge: Deighton Bell and Co., Ltd.; Kimberley: Alexander McGregor Memorial Museum, 1933.) 25s. net.
