with drift wood. It contains a fair volume of water, which, though thick
and white in colour, owing to the large amount of gypsum which the soil
contains, is nevertheless sweet and good to drink. Most other streams
I in this part of the country possess the same characteristic.— {Galindo,
November 1888.)
