. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. 74 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM. Map 13. Worcester District. Horizontal hatching: Macchia; vertical hatching: Succulent Karoo. Hare, who resided there for three months in 1953, has also been most valuable. Much of the Breede River valley lies in the rain-shadow of the Hottentots- Holland Mountains, but, for the same reasons as are set out for the Robertson District, the area is considered faunistically part of the Winter Rainfall area, as is the Hex River valley. The southern, western and northern parts of the district, including the mountain ranges, are covered with Macchia. In the rain-shadows, this gives place to Mountain Renosterbosveld; but in the Breede River valley from Worcester east, Renosterbosveld is replaced by Karroid Broken Veld. Around Touws River, and extending a long finger southward, is a patch of Succulent Karoo. This very varied terrain is still further diversified by the seasonally flooded marshes along the Breede River and by the reservoirs of Verkeerdevlei, west of Touws River (Winterbottom, 19646), and Brandvlei, near Worcester. Wynberg Abbreviation: S; Classification: Winter Rainfall. All information for this district is summarized in the check list. The author resided in the district, 1950-60. Additional information on the birds of Rondevlei Bird Sanctuary will be found in the Warden's Reports (Middlemiss, 1952 onwards); on the water birds in Winterbottom (1960^); and on the birds of the Sasmeer Estate in Winterbottom (1962^)..
