Extract

It is now eight years since the present writer drew attention in these pages to his discovery of a diamond-bearing pipe of igneous origin in Brazil (3). The matter, though hotly contested and denied at the time, seems now to have been generally accepted. So much so in fact that Dr. Alex. du Toit, in his presidential address to the Geological Society of South Africa (10) compares the diamond-bearing pipes of Brazil and South Africa as an indication of the former close connection of these lands.
