IN THE RIVER.

From the " Arrabida" Mountain to the " Lobeira de Ouro,'
there runs a narrow channel along the Rocks on the northern
side of 17 palmos, and close to the " Lobeira," of IS palmos at
low water, and this depth is found as far as the " Lobeira de
Sobreiras." Between the " Arribadouro" and the " Cruz de
Ferro," the soundings are 18 palmos, and from thence to the
extreme point of the" Cabodello," 20, 22, and 30 palmos.
The Sand Bank still exists close to "Porta Nobre," which
runs over to the south side, about a third of the width of the
River.

NoTE.—The Portuguese names are preserved as in the
original, as when they are made use of by the natives, they
will be understood :—"Lagcs," " Filgueiras," " Labe d'Abre,"
" Lobeira de Ouro," " Lobeira de Sobreiras," " Arribadouro,"
and " Cruz de Ferro," arc rocks.
