Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Ethnological Society of London, 1854, Vol. 3
To the south Damaraland is hilly: the northern part con sists of wide plains covered with thorn-bushes, low shrubs, and grass. All the rivers are periodical: on their banks grow high and thick trees, chie?y of the acacia kind. Compared with Namaqualand the country is well watered. Besides mineral springs, wells are frequently found which are dug by the natives, so that the want of water is not felt in travelling.
