Beneath it the writer found at Mpathe , on a surface formed partly of water-laid grit and partly apparently of older dune, broken pebbles of nondescript type. As Cordon B rests in places on the 8-10 metre terrace, it must be younger than one peak of the last interglacial. Cordon D can be traced fairly continuously from the Mlalazi River probably to the Mozambique border. It is interrupted by several rivers, and in the far north is mostly inaccessible. It is formed of red sand. Its sides are not steep, and it rarely rises to a great height above the adjacent plain. Its maximum altitude is +112 m south of Mtubatuba and at Kuleni (Map 3 ol), +130 m north of the Mkuze River (see Map 4). Its base is generally between +60 and +75 m, nowhere below +30 m save where it seems to have slumped. In places it rests on one of the higher beach-gravels (+49—[-70 m). Cordon D appears to be aligned with a cordon behind Mtunzini, which rests on rock at +61 m. South-west from Mtunzini there is a single cordon, which appears to belong to the Berea member. It is, however, difficult to associ- ate Cordon D with the Berea Cordon, which the writer has shown to date from the last interglacial. Cordon D is 22 km from the present coast near Mtubatuba, >35 km behind Kosi Bay. Its profile is much less steep than the Berea Cordon. On it have been found a very few artefacts—in addition to pieces of the Tugela Industry, a hand-axe at the University of Zululand (Map 2 ol) and a small cleaver near the Mlalazi River; these are likely to be Late Acheulian and older than the last interglacial. Beneath the dune have been.
