Natural history. 222 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM with australopithecine hominids suggests that a thorough examination of the Serra da Chela dolomite breccias would be eminently worth while. Plans and sections of the Leba dolomitic fissures are easily observed as a result of extensive travertine quarrying which is continuing in 1975. The general appearance of the Leba dolomitic fissure environment is similar to the lime- stone caves environment in the Makapan Valley. The Leba travertines have been mined along a crack in the dolomite several hundred metres in length. At least several hundred tons of breccia are available to scientific research in dumps (Fig. 5). The breccia has been dumped on the side of the quarry in exactly the same way as the breccia was dumped outside the Makapansgat Limeworks quarry. A surface examination of the breccia disclosed a few frag- ments of bone but it is clear that the proportion of bone to breccia is very low. No substantial accumulations of bone were observed in the breccias, both in situ and in the rubble heaps. KUNENE PROFILES SITE1 SITE 4 SITE 3. SITE 5 SITE 10 SITE 7A SITE 7B.
