In the beginning of August 1908, I had the opportuiiity of visiting the lake district of the Transvml while out in that country during the Oxford summer vacation. The lakes or pans visited lie in the Carolina district due east of Pretoria near the borders of Swaziland. My object was to study and make as complete a collection of the Crusta. cean fauna as I could in the time at my disposal.Though not the highest point of the veldt, Lake Chrissie is some 6000 feet above the sea-level, and is situated in a slight liollow in the hills; in fact the word “pan” applied to these pieces of water ideally expresses their chief feature, in that they resemble shallow basins fo be found in certain parts of the undulating stretches of the veldt. The Ecca sandstone of the Karroo formation characterises the geology of this district. At the time I was there all the pans were very empty, some of them had completely dried up.
