Another tributary, the outlet of Lake Coleridge, after a shortnorth-westerly course of about one mile, joins the Wilberforce at thisturn, which now flows for three miles south-west, and then altering itscourse for five miles to the south-east, joins the main valley of theRakaia. However, before proceeding to follow the downward courseof the united Rakaia, I wish to make a few observations on LakeColeridge and its principal tributary, the Eyton. Lake Coleridge iseleven miles long, and on the average one mile and a half broad; itforms the continuation of the valley of the Wilberforce from which it is.
