  • The Rubidge Collection of Fossil Karroo Vertebrates
    THE RUBIDGE COLLECTION OF FOSSIL KARROO VERTEBRATES By S. H. Haughton, F.R.S. Wherever palaeontologists interested in fossils from the strata of the Karroo system discuss the systematics and evolutionary importance of Permian and Triassic vertebrates they perforce have to consider the facts that have been revealed by studies of the hundreds of specimens forming what is known as the "Rubidge Collection". Housed in the family home on the farm W ellwood in the district of Graaff­ Reinet, Cape Province, this magnificent collection has been gathered together by the enthusiasm and generosity of one man-Sidney H. Rubidge, farmer and Honorary Doctor of Science of the University of the Orange Free State. Among those who deserve the honoured title of "amateur", one who pursues a hobby for pure love and without thought of material gain, Dr S. H. Rubidge must rank very high. The name Rubidge was not by any means unknown to Science before Sidney added lustre to it. Among the associates of, and collaborators with, Andrew Geddes Bain-the "father of South African geology"-was Dr Richard Nathaniel Rubidge, who had come in 1821, at the age of two years, with his father to South Africa from Wales, beginning his South African life in Grahamstown. He became the leading medical doctor in Port Elizabeth and was a co-founder of the Provincial Hospital in that city. He was also an ardent botanist as well as an enthusiastic collector of fossils, especially of the Cretaceous fossils of the Uiten­ hage basin. He sent collections, from both the Cretaceous and Karroo beds, to London and also had papers on various aspects of South African geology published by the Geological Society of London, of which he was a Fellow, including one of the occurrence of gold in dolerite dykes at Smithfield in the Orange Free State and another in which he gives his own interpretation of the relations of the various formations in the Ceres area.
