The Darling], in lat.

34 degrees 8 minutes and long.

142 degrees.

Circumstances, however, prevented my examining it to any distance above its point of union with the main river.
Yet, coming as it did, direct from the north, and similar as it was to the Darling in its upper branches, neither had I, nor any of the men then with me, and who had accompanied me when I discovered the Darling in 1828, the slightest doubt as to its identity.

Still, the fact might reasonably be disputed by others, more especially as there was abundant space for the formation of another river, between the point where I first struck the Darling and this junction.
It was at all events a matter of curious speculation to the world at large, and was a point well worthy of further investigation.
