Geological surveys are now in full operation and doing valuable work in Nigeria, the Gold Coast, and Sierra Leone in West Africa; in Uganda, Nyasaland, the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and the Mandated Territory of Tanganyika in Central and East Africa; and in the Federated Malay States. Many other colonies have had temporary surveys.
