Bushman paintings (their probable age), Union of South Africa (Bushman paintings in the), Dorothea Bleek (her paper on the age of Bushman paintings), Rhodesia (possibly presented there), Malutis (the last of their artists were shot in the Witteberg Native Reserve), George William Stow (his informant), Arbousset (said the Bushmen are a branch of the Hottentots), Boer commando (painted by Bushmen), Bantu tribes (painted by Bushmen), Ndanga (Rhodesia's Bushman paintings in)

A full copy (pages 1 to 6) of Dorothea Bleek's presentation (read in Southern Rhodesia?) for an unknown 'paper'. It is unclear which of Dorothea's publications this transcript refers to. Ashton, likely a librarian or archivist at the University of Cape Town, speculated that it may date from 1921, 1927, or 1938. In 1927, Dorothea published in the Bulawayo Chronicle and wrote an article titled 'The Ndanga rock paintings' for the Native Affairs Department Annual.
