Dictionary of South African Biography,volume I, page 534:Alexander Merensky (1837 – 1918). As a researcher Merensky was particularly interested in geography and made two significant contributions in that field. Assisted by Carl Mauch, the explorer, and Friedrich Jeppe, the postmaster-general and cartographer, he in 1868 published a map which is a relatively comprehensive survey of the Transvaal. In 1975 he published in Germany a considerably improved map of the Transvaal Republic; for a long time it was considered the best cartographical survey of this area.
