They are about -450 ft. thick and are predominantly argillaceous, consisting of red and blue shales with at least one prom- inent sandstone band. Du Toit has studied the section shown by the Platberg, near Harrismith and he has kindly sent me details of this unpublished study. At the base of the mountain are red and purple shales with medium-grained sandstones, representatives of the Beaufort Beds - a slightly lower horizon of which has yielded a Middle Beaufort fauna on the Harrismith Commonage. Lying above these are "290 feet of strata which he assigns to the Red Beds, there being thus an unconformity between the Beaufort Beds and the Red Beds, the Molteno Beds being absent. At the base of the Red Beds is a thin but gritty sandstone. This is followed in succession by over 100 feet of soft purple shales,.
