The whole of the country we passed was poor, and the soil within a mile of the river changed to a coarse deep sand, which I have invariably found to compose its banks in every part without exception that I ever saw.

The stream at this place is about 350 feet wide; the water pure and excellent to the taste.

The banks are about twenty feet high and covered with trees, many of which had been evidently bent by the force of the current in the direction which it runs, and some of them contained rubbish and drift wood in their branches at least forty-five feet above the level of the stream.

We saw many ducks, and killed one, which Colbee swam for.

No new production among the shrubs growing here was found.
