nihcent waterfalls in this State. The
Cosumnes river commences here to form
a canon, and running among steep and
rugged rocks, rushes on in angry and
foaming confusion, down this canon, un-
til it reaches a large, oblong hole, worn
through the solid rock, through which it
leaps; and then at an angle Of about fifty
degrees, decends and forms waterfall
