Assigning this tooth to a new genus and species, Griquatherium cingulatum, Haughton stated that it came from the collection of Mr. A. Grumpelt at Barkly West, and Cooke (1949) stated that on the basis of the other specimens in this collection, it is quite likely that the Griquatherium specimen came from the 60-foot terrace at Waldeck's Plant or Gong-gong. 2. In 1926, three Sivatheriinae teeth were recovered from the upper layers at Florisbad (Dreyer and Lyle, 1931). The actual teeth were sent in 1932 to scientists in Europe for study, but unfortunately they were not described and it is now not possible to trace them. The only remnant of the specimens is a poor plaster-cast of the crown of a lower molar (C 1492) which is housed in the Nasionale Museum, Bloemfontein. Notes on the geology of Florisbad have been published on various occasions (Dreyer and Lyle, 1931; Dreyer, 1938; Hoffman, 1953; Oakley, 1954a; Singer, 1956, and Meiring, 1956). Oakley (1954a, page 84) states: 'The Florisbad deposits consist of sands, intermittently ejected by springs of gaseous water during Pleistocene and recent times, alternating with seams of peat formed by salt marsh vegetation which spread across the area when the springs were quiescent. There are two parallel lines of spring centres (or.
