Soromas
The reserve is south of Bethanien, also to the Conciep River, and is written as a farm No. 40. It was a source ('brunn' in 1912); the water was very brackish, in fact, just south of the soryaas Farms 'Brakwater West' No. 151 and 'Brackwasser' No. 144. It seems to us whether the demand for the statement is still open.

Die reservaat le suid van Bethanien, ook aan die Konkieprivier, en is inge- skryf as plaas nr 40. Dit was ’n bron ('-brunn' in 1912); die water was baie brak, trouens, net suid van Soromaas le die plase 'Brakwater-Wes' nr 151 en 'Brackwasser' nr 144. Dit kom ons voor of die vraag na die verklaring nog oop is.
