| Summary Abstract: | This report presents the findings of a geological reconnaissance survey undertaken in 1955 in the Kasigau-Kurase Area, in the Coast Province of Kenya. The objective of the survey was treefold: 1. to search for mineral deposits of economic values; 2. the evaluation of the Durama Sandstone sediments as a source of oil; and 3. to examine the same sediments for coal-bearing strata. An account of water-supply is also given.The results of the survey are accompanied, and illustrated, by two maps, at 1:125,000 scale, which, also, include cross-sectional diagrams of selected sites. The maps are: 1. Geological Map of the Kasigau Area (Directorate of Colonial Surveys, Sheet No. 196); and 2. Geological Map of the Area South of the Taita Hills (Directorate of Colonial Surveys, Sheet No. 195 & part of Sheet No. 189). |
