But the sluggish current is frequently dammod and even displaced by the shifting sands and high dunes drifting hefore the wind on these nearly horizontal plains.

The Diamante, one of its affluents, which is stated to be to some extent navigable, has also shifted its channel under the same influences. Formerly
LAKES AND EITEES OF PATAOONTA. 881 it was a tributary to the Rio Atuel, which flows more to the south. But having been deflected eastwards by moving sandhills it now flows in the direction of the Salado. Thus is formed a large triangular space, whose sides are represented by the three rivers Diamante, Salado, and Atuel. Below the last named, which descends from the snowy Cordilleras, the Salado, gradually losing in volume and rambling with uncertain flow over the level plains, is at last arrested by a chain of dunes. Here it expands into the broad but shallow Urre-Lafquen basin, called also Laguna Amarga, from Fig. 155.—Uree-Lafqubn. its " bitter " waters, which, despite s«aie > : i,8oo,ooo. their saline character, abound in fish. Beyond this basin the Cura-co, or channel, may still be distinguished through which the Salado formerly reached the Rio Colorado. It might almost seem as if the current had at one time been diverted from the Colorado eastwards to the broad estuary of Bahia Blanca on the Atlantic, which presents the aspect of a fluvial mouth, and which has the appearance of being connected with the Urre-Lafquen depression bv a chain of lagoons, morasses, and dried lacustrine basins. The Eio Colorado. In any case the Colorado is now completely separated from the whole of its northern basin, which is seven or eight times more extensive than the region to which it is now confined. Beyond the Cordilleras, where are formed its two main 'S iuies. upper branches, the Rio Grande and the Rio de Barrancas, its course presents a remarkably uniform character. After issuing from the mountains it is joined by no more affluents on either side, and flows in the direction from north-west to south-east in a deeply eroded rocky channel. Although traversing an arid region, where at times no rain falls for years together, the Colorado never runs dry. During the period of melting snows it forms a majestic watercourse, at once deep and rapid, with a breadth of from 1,000 to 1,300 feet. But in the winter season it dwindles to a shallow stream
